Craig Finn - Tangletown lyrics

Happy hour in those high heel boots Splitting checks for some ma**ive groups Red teeth and the buyback blues The sketchy truth about the vineyard youth Can't slow down but her car is in the shop She can't pay up but she still wants to rock She can't listen to the people talk Just stares beyond their shoulders And waits until their mouths stop moving She knows this guy who likes to fool around He's got a big house up in Tangletown He claims he used to have a family He falls asleep way too easily She walks around once he pa**es out Calls a car and collects what's hers Takes a bottle when she's walking out She's working at the cork when she gets back into her building Sit and drink until the sun comes up Sleep it off and then it starts again Go to work and when she's getting off Tries to hang around some finer things Tries to hang around some finer things He keeps his eyes on the sales reports Keeps in shape with the racquet sports Tennis shorts on the tennis courts He lost his shirt in a bad divorce The lawyers came and they scraped him away He kept the house but he still lost his way He goes to work but they take half his pay Leased a car that makes it look ok The broker said that he should sell the wine They got this guy that can arrange a buy But there's a girl that sometimes comes to him She seems to really like the finer things Once a week or so he takes her out She picks the place it's always new and loud He can barely even hear her talk Just stares beyond her shoulder And waits until her mouth stops moving Sit and drink until they fall asleep He wakes up and he's alone again Goes to work and then when he gets off Tries to hang around some finer things Tries to hang around some finer things Sit and drink until they fall asleep He wakes up and he's alone again Goes to work and then when he gets off Tries to hang around some finer things Sit and drink until the sun comes up Sleep it off and then it starts again Go to work and when she's getting off Tries to hang around some finer things Tries to hang around some finer things Tries to hang around some finer things
