1979 Lyrics

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Shake down 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

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 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 slippin dues down to

down to see

That we

don't even care

as restless as we are

We feel

the pull

in the land of the thousand

guilts

And poured cement,

lamenated 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 ghouls

No apolgies ever need be made

I know you better than you fake it

To see that we don't even 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
