the contortionist - 1979 lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
shakedown 1979
cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street
you and i should meet
junebug skippin’ like a stone
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
we were sure we’d never see an end
to it all

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
double-cross the vacant and the bored
they’re not sure just what we have in store
morphine city slippin’ dues
down to see

[chorus]
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

[bridge]
lamented and -ssured
to the lights and towns below
faster than the speed of sound
faster than we thought we’d go
beneath the sound of hope

[verse 3]
justine never knew the rules
hung down with the freaks and ghouls
no apologies ever need be made
i know you better than you fake it
to see

[chorus]
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

[outro]
the street heats the urgency of now
as you see there’s no one around
