Artist/Band: Smashing Pumpkins
Lyrics for Song: 1979
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits [2004]



Shakedown 1979

Cool kids never have the time

On a live wire right up off the street

You and I should meet



June bug skipping like a stone

With the headlights pointed at the dawn

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

To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed

Into the earth below



Double cross the vacant and the bored

They're not sure just what we have in the store

Morphine city slippin' dues down to see



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 lights 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 the ghouls

No apologies ever need be made

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 just where our bones will rest

To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed

Into the earth below



The street heats the urgency of now

As you see there's no one around
