SMASHING PUMPKINS - 1979 lyrics

rate me

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time<br>On a live wire right up off the street<br>You and I should meet<br>Junebug skipping like a stone<br>With the headlights pointed at the dawn<br>We were sure we'd never see an end to it all<br>And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues<br>And we don't know<br>Just where our bones will rest<br>To dust I guess<br>Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below<br>Double cross the vacant and the bored<br>They're not sure just what we have in the store<br>Morphine city slippin dues down to see<br>That we don't even care as restless as we are<br>We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts<br>And poured cement, lamented and assured<br>To the lights and towns below<br>Faster than the speed of sound<br>Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope<br>Justine never knew the rules,<br>Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls<br>No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it<br>To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues<br>And we don't know just where our bones will rest<br>To dust I guess<br>Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below<br>The street heats the urgency of sound<br>As you can see there's no one around
