Craig Finn - Trapper Avenue lyrics

If you want to know the truth They got girls that'll come right up to your windows They got guys that will sell you tickets to a car crash And if you want to tell the truth I used to cruise I used to walk around with rubies in my shoes Dude, they used to call me Jewels And it's not so hard to sparkle when you're blowing up Sometimes it's just enough showing up She can't even talk about the drinking without smoking She can't even see with all the smoke in her eyes She's suggesting we could maybe take a shortcut 'Cause we've been down this avenue like fifty million times Trapper Avenue Down that avenue They got girls that'll wipe you off windows They got kids that'll try to k** you at the car wash Coming down with blades up in their boots They'll cut your fingers off your gun before you shoot All this dancing's going to lead to heavy breathing All these pills are going to show up in your eyes Since we turned the corner, I haven't seen you smile But we've been walking down this avenue at least a couple miles And they're waving from the windows And they're singing songs we both like I think they dig our forward progress And it's like they never left us And the salesmen couldn't serve us But the doctors kept their promise And the chemist gave his blessing But the nurses wouldn't let us Wouldn't let us step out of our get ups It sort of seems like one big set up When they were waving through the windows When they were waving from the windows When they were waving from the windows And singing songs we both like When they were waving from the windows And singing songs we both like When they were waving from the windows And singing songs we both like Yeah, they'll come right up to your windows Down on Trapper Avenue Down on Trapper Avenue Down on Trapper Avenue
