D#7+ Ab D#7+ Ab
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
D#7 Ab Fm7+
On a live wire right up off the street
Bb D#7+
You and I should meet
Ab D#7+ Ab
June bug skipping like a stone
D#7+ Ab D#7+
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
D#7+ Ab Fm7+ Bb
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
D#7+ Ab
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
D#7+ Ab
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
D#7+ Ab
To dust I guess
D#7+ Ab Fm7+ Bb
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
D#7+ Ab
Double cross the vacant and the bored
D#7+ Ab
They're not sure just what we have in the store
D#7+ Ab Fm7+ Ab
Morphine city slippin' dues, down to see that
D#7+ Ab
We don't even care, as restless as we are
D#7+ Ab
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
D#7+ Ab Fm7+
And poured cement, lamented and assured
Bb Cm Ab
To the lights and towns below
Bb Cm Ab
Faster than the speed of sound
Bb Cm Ab Bb F Bb
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
D#7+ Ab
Justine never knew the rules
D#7+ Ab
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
D#7+ Ab
No apologies ever need be made
D#7+ Ab Fm7+ Bb
I know you better than you fake it, to see
D#7+ Ab
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
D#7+ Ab
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
D#7+ Ab
To dust I guess
D#7+ Ab Fm7+ Bb
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
D#7+ Ab
The street heats the urgency of sound
D#7+ Ab
As you can see there's no one around
D#7+
