Summer of ’79

[Verse 1]
Shakedown, 1979
Cool kids never have the time
Live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
June bug skipping like a stone
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
Forgotten and absorbed
To 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 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

[Verse 3]
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
I know you better than you fake it to see

[Chorus]
That we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Forgotten and absorbed
To the Earth below

[Spoken Bridge]
I follow the directions
And It takes me to this residential neighborhood
And I'm like "What the fuck?"
And I get to this house
And I'm like this is insane
And I walk downstairs, there's a studio
They were mixing the record, we're hanging out
And I go to take a piss
And there's pictures of fuckin' Bryan Adams everywhere
After, like, an hour
I was like
"Du—who's the fuckin' stalker that loves Bryan Adams that much that lives in this house?"
They were like...Bryan Adams

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