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 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 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 now
As you see there's no one around

Usually I'm the one that's in control I meet em', freak em', leave em'
Move on to the next man, he ain't my man
I must admit I like to have some fun I be in love for like a minute then I'm on the run(on the run, on the run for like a minute then I'm on the run)
Until the day that he caught my eyes I knew I didn't wanna play him like them other guys(other guys, other guys, didn't wanna play him like them other guys)

[Chorus:]
U are my kryptonite u take my powers away
And if I spend the night u probably drive me insane
(one night stand, one night stand he was suppose to be a one night stand)
U are my kryptonite u take my powers away
And if I spend the night u probably drive me insane
(one night stand, one night stand he was suppose to be a one night stand)

[Verse 2:]
When he looked in my I eyes I knew something was different,
He wasn't no beginner I could tell I couldn't win(couldn't win, couldn't win hes no beginner and I couldn't win)
I shoulda walked away, don't know what made me stay
I know I played this game I'm proably gonna pay (gonna pay, gonna pay, I played this game so proably gonna pay)

[Chorus:]
U are my kryptonite u take my powers away
And if I spend the night u probably drive me insane
(one night stand, one night stand he was suppose to be a one night stand)
U are my kryptonite u take my powers away
And if I spend the night u probably drive me insane
(one night stand, one night stand he was suppose to be a one night stand)

Take em to the bridge

[Bridge:]
So I decided I would try because I couldn't fight it I would do it so good I'd have em' making me pancakes in the morning making me pancakes in the morning
And so I tried to beat em' I mean I went to tell em' he pulled the switch and it was me making pancakes in the morning me making pancakes in the morning

[Chorus:]
U are my kryptonite u take my powers away
And if I spend the night u probably drive me insane
(one night stand, one night stand he was suppose to be a one night stand)
U are my kryptonite u take my powers away
And if I spend the night u probably drive me insane
(one night stand, one night stand he was suppose to be a one night stand)

I’m not lovin' you
Way I wanted to
What I had to do
Had to run from you
I’m in love with you
But the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me all the way home

So you never know
Never, never know
Never know enough
Til it’s over love
Til we lose control
System overload
Screamin’ no, no, no, no, no

I’m not lovin' you
Way I wanted to
See I want to move
But can’t escape from you
So I keep it low
Keep a secret code
So everybody else don’t have to know

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool
So I keep it true
I got something to lose
So I gotta move
I can’t keep myself
And still keep you too

So I keep in mind
When I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home
In the danger zone
How many times did I tell you
‘fore it finally got through
You lose, you lose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
See I had to go
See I had to move
No more wasting time
You can’t wait for life
We’re just racing time
Where’s the finish line

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
I bet no one knew
I got no one new
No, I said I’m through
But got love for you
But I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to

Gotta keep it going
Keep the lovin’ going
Keep it on a roll
Only god knows
If I’ll be with you
Baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
Where I want to go
I don’t need you
I’ve been down this road
Too many times before
I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

You lose
You lose
You lose
You lose
