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 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 the store
Morphine city slippin' 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 now
As you can see there's no one around
i'm a thief... and a liar...

see Ed's church?--he's breathing fire.....

    I'm just really interested in seeing who "they" actually turns out to be. Billy & Jimmy are together for sure, and I've heard D'Arcy is a pretty safe bet after her failed acting career. The big question is whether or not Iha & Billy patched things up.

    They are probably a little overrated, they put out two really great albums in Siamese Dream & Adore. Mellon Collie would have been a third if Corgan didn't feel the need to expand it into a double album. Like almost every double album ever made, there is enough junk on the two discs that could have been cut out to make one amazing album, oh well. I never liked Gish much and Machina isn't very good. But still, two great albums is two more than 99% of all other bands in the world.
