Shakedown nineteen seven nine, cool kids never have the time
3 -2” -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4
On a live wire right up off the stre-et
-4 -4 -4 -3 -4 4
You and IIII should meet
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5
Junebug skipping like a stone
3 3 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 3
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4 -4 -4
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
-7 7 7 -7 -5 5 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
5 6 -6 6 6 5
And we do-n't kno-w
5 -5 5 -4 4 7
Just where our bones will rest
7 -7 6 -5 5 -5
To dust IIIIIII guess
5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 4
Forgotten and ab-so-rbed to the ear-th below
-5 5 -5 5 -5 -4 -4 4 5
Double cross the vacant and the bored
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -3 3
They're not sure just what we have in store
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
Morphine city slipping du-es down to se-e
6 7 7 -7 -5 5 -3” -5 5 -4 4 5
That we don't even care as restless as we are
5 6 -6 6 6 -5 4 -4 -5 5 5 -4 4 7
We feel th-e pu-ll in the land of a thousand guilts
7 -7 6 -5 5 -5 5 4 -5 -4 -4 4 5 -4
And poured ceeeee-me-nt, lamented and a-ssu-red
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 3
To the lights and towns be-lo-w
-4 4 -4 -4 5 4 4 3
Faster than the speed of so-und
-4 4 -4 -4 5 6 -6 6 -4 4 -4 5 -3 3 -4 4
Faster than we thought we'd g-o-o, beneath the sound of h-ope
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5
Justine never knew the rules,
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 3
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
3 3 -5 -4 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
4 -4 4 -6 7 7 -7 -5 5 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4
To se-e that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
5 6 -6 6 6 5
And we do-n't kno-w
5 -5 5 -4 4 7
Just where our bones will rest
7 -7 6 -5 5 -5
To dust IIIIIII guess
5 -5 5 -4 4 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 4
Forgotten and ab-so-rbed to the ear-th below
5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 5
The street heats the urgency of now
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4
As you see there's no-o one around
