The Hold Steady - The Sweet Part Of The City Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Back when we were living up on Hennepin.
  • She kept threatening to turn us in.
  • At night she mostly liked us.
  • We used to pass around a thermos.
  • Some nights she looked gorgeous.
  • We were living it.
  • We delivered it.
  • We didn't feel a thing.
  • We were living it.
  • 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.
  • Now it seems to me
  • Like distance doesn't equal rate and time no more.
  • It's like gravity doesn't apply.
  • Now everything sparkles and it feels like we're on wheels.
  • It was dark but I guess that's the deal.
  • St. Theresa showed up wearing 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 living it.
  • We delivered it.
  • We didn't feel a thing.
  • We were in heaven in
  • 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 aftertaste.
  • It was stark but it was spacious.
  • It's a long way from Cedar-Riverside to Cedars-Cyanide
  • Three times St. Paul to Cheyenne.
  • It's a long way from Sacramento too.
  • We were bored so we started a band.
  • We'd like to play for you
