A E7M E
Shakedown nineteen seven nine,
A E7M E
Cool kids never have the time.
A F#m7
On a live wire right up off the street
B E7M E
You and I should meet.
A E7M E
Junebug skipping like a stone
A E7M E
With headlights pointed at the dawn.
A
We were sure we' d never see
F#m7 B
An end to it all.
E E7M A7M E
And I don' t even care to shake these zipper blues,
E7M A7M E
And we don' t know just where our bones will rest
E7M A7M
To dust I guess
F#m7 B E7M E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
A E7M E
Double cross the vacant and the bored,
A E7M E
They' re not sure just what we have in store.
A F#m A
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:
E E7M A7M E
That we don' t even care as restless as we are,
E7M A7M E
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts.
E7M A7M
And poured cement,
B
Lamented and assured.
C#m A
To the lights and towns below,
B C#m A
Faster than the speed of sound,
B C#m A F#m7 B E7M E
Faster than we thought we' d go beneath the sound of hope.
A E7M E
Justine never knew the rules,
A E7M E
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.
A E7M E
No a-pologies ever need be made,
A F#m7 B
I know you better than you fake it to see:
E E7M A7M E
That we don' t even care to shake these zipper blues,
E7M A7M E
And we don' t know just where our bones will rest
E7M A7M
To dust I guess,
F#m B E7M E
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.
A E7M E
The street heats the urgency of now.
A E
As you see there' s no one around.
