1979

Lyrics

[Intro] (To die young) (To die young) [Verse 1] Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet [Verse 2] Junebug skippin' like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all [Chorus] And I don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth Below [Verse 3] Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues, down to see [Chorus] That we don't even care As restless as we are We feel the pull In the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement [Bridge] Lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope [Verse 4] Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it, to see [Chorus] That we don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth Below [Outro] The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
