1979 (smashing Pumpkins Cover) Lyrics - Singles - Bad Rabbits

Shakedown 1979 

Cool kids never have the time 

On a live wire right up off the street 

You and I should meet 

Junebug skipping like a stone 

With the headlights pointed at the dawn 

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

I don't even care to shake these zipper blues 

No we don't know 

Just where our bones will rest 

To dust I guess 

Forgotten and absorbed to the earth below 

Double cross the vacant and the bored 

They're not sure just what they have in store 

Morphine city slippin' dues down to see 

And we don't even care as restless as we are 

We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts 

And poured cement, lamented and assured 

To the world and towns below 

Faster than the speed of sound 

Faster than we thought we'd go 

Beneath the sound of hope 

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 

And we don't even care to shake these zipper blues 

No we don't know just where our bones will rest 

To dust I guess 

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below 

The street heats the urgency of sound 

As you see there's no one around
