Tad Kubler - The Sweet Part of the City lyrics

Back when we were living up on Hennepin She kept threatening to turn us in At night she mostly liked us We used to pa** around the thermos Some nights she was gorgeous We were living it We delivered it We didn't feel a thing We were living in the sweet part of the city The parts with the bars and restaurants We used to meet underneath the marquees We used to nod off in the matinees She always claimed that she was from Tennessee And now it seems to me Like distance doesn't equal rate and time no more It's like gravity doesn't apply No, everything sparkles and appears like we're on wheels It was dark, but I guess that's the deal St. Theresa showed up wearin' see-through It was standard issue We went out to get some more wine But it's a long haul to the corner store from the center of the universe When you can't get your car off the curb We were livin' it We delivered it We didn't feel a thing We were in heaven then The sweet part of the city The parts with the bars and restaurants So we shot ourselves out into outer space It was tough to place the after taste It was stark, but it was spacious It's a long way from Cedar-Riverside to Cedars-Sinai Three times St. Paul to Cheyenne And it's a long way from Sacramento, too We were bored, so we started a band We like to play for you We like to pray for you We like to pray for you We like to play for you
