lyrics | learn to sing 1979

The shakedown of 1979, cool kids never had the time.

A live wire up off the street, you and I should meet.

Junebugs kitten like a stone with headlights pointing at the dawn

We will surely 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

The dust, I guess, forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double-cross the vacant and the bored

And that's sure just what we have in store More famed city-slippin' dudes down the sea

That we don't even care As restless as we are

We feel the pull, in a land of thousand gales and poured cement.

Lamented and assured, to the lights and the 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

Apologies ever need be made

I know you better than you fake it to see

That we don't even care

It's shaky zipper blues and we don't know just where our bones will rest

The dust, I guess, forgotten and absorbed in the earth below

The street keeps the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
