Songtexte 1979 - The Heavy Band

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With our headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end
To it all

I don't even care
To shake these zipper blues

We don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below

Double crossed vacant and a bore
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slipping dues
Time to see

That we don't even care
Stressless as we are

We feel that I've grown
In the land of a thousand views
A force I meant
Lamented and assured

To the lights and the towns below
Fosterland
Speed of sound
Fosterland
We thought we'd gone
Believe the sound of home

Justine never knew the rules
Hunt down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need to be made
I know you're better than you're playing

To see

That we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
We don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
Into earth below

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