1979
1.
Shakedown 1979, cool kids
never have the time.
G e A D
On a
live wire right up off the street, you and I should meet.
G D
Junebug skipping like a stone,
G
D
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
G
Em A
we
were sure we'd never see an end to it all.
D G D
And I
don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
G
D G
and
we don't know just where our bones will rest to dust I guess,
Em A D
-
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
2. Double cross the vacant and
the bored,
G D
they're not sure just what we have in store.
G Em G
Morpine city slippin dues down to see.
D G D
That we don't even care as restless as we are,
G D
we
feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts,
G A
and
poured cement, lamented and assured
Bm G
A Bm G
to
the lights and towns below, faster than the speed of sound,
A Bm G Em A D
faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope.

Justine never knew the rules,
G
D
hung
down with the freaks and the ghouls.
No
apologies ever need be made,
G
Em A
I
know you better than you fake it, to see
D
G D
that
we don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
G
D
and we
don't know just where our bones will rest,
G Em A D
to
dust I guess, forgotten and absorbed into earth below.
G
D
The
street heats the urgency of sound,
G
D
as
you can see there's no one around.
