Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 Lyrics
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the timeOn a live wire right up off the streetYou and I should meetJunebug skipping like a stoneWith the headlights pointed at the dawnWe were sure wed never see an end to it allAnd I dont even care to shake these zipper bluesAnd we dont knowJust where our bones will restTo dust I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth belowDouble cross the vacant and the boredTheyre not sure just what we have in the storeMorphine city slippin dues down to seeThat we dont even care as restless as we areWe feel the pull in the land of a thousand guiltsAnd poured cement, lamented and assuredTo the lights and towns belowFaster than the speed of soundFaster than we thought wed go, beneath the sound of hopeJustine never knew the rules,Hung down with the freaks and the ghoulsNo apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake itTo see that we dont care to shake these zipper bluesAnd we dont know just where our bones will restTo dust I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth belowThe street heats the urgency of soundAs you can see theres no one around
