Shake down
nineteen seventy-nine
Cool kids never

have the time
Cool kids never

have the time
On a live wire right

up off of the street

You and 1

should meet
June bug

is skipping like

a stone
With the headlights

pointin' at the dawn
We were sure we'd

never see an end to it all
We were sure we'd

never see an end to it all
And I don't even care
to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just

where our bones will rest
And we don't know just

where our bonas will rest
To dust I guess

Forgotten and
absorbed into

the earth below
( Instrumental Break)
Double-cross

the vacant and

the bored
They're not sure just
what we have in store
Morphine City slippin'

dues down to see
Morphine City slippin'

dug down to see
We feel the pull
in the land of

a thousand Quins

and poured cement l
Faster than we thought

the speed of sound
Faster than we thought

we'd go beneath

me sound of hope
Justine never
knew the rules
Hung down with the

freaks and the ghouls
Hung down with the

freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever
need be made
I know you better than

you fake it to see
I know you better than

you fake it to see
That we don't even care
to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know

where our bones will rest
And we don't know

where our bonas will rest
The street heats
the urgency of sound
As you can see

there's no one around
