1979 -

| 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 the headlights pointed at the dawn | |
| We were sure we'd 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 to dust | |
| To dust I guess | |
| Forgotten and absorbed | |
| Into the earth below | |
| Double cross the vacant and the bored | |
| They're not sure just what we have in store | |
| Morphine city slipping dues | |
| Down to see | |
| That we don't even care | |
| As restless as we are | |
| We feel the pull | |
| In the land of a thousand guilts | |
| And poured cement | |
| Lamented and assured | |
| To the lights and 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 the ghouls | |
| No apologies ever need be made | |
| I know you better than you fake it, to see | |
| That we don't care | |
| To shake these zipper blues | |
| And we don't know | |
| Just where our bones will rest | |
| To dust I guess | |
| Forgotten and absorbed | |
| Into the earth below | |
| The street heats the urgency of sound | |
| As you can see there's no one around |
