Trapper Avenue

If you want to know the truth They got girl's who'll come right up to your windows They got guys who'll 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 enough just showing up She can't even talk about the drinking without smoking She can't even see with all the smoke up in her eyes She's suggesting we could maybe take a shortcut Cause we've been down this avenue, like, 50 million times Trapper avenue Down that avenue They got girls that'll wipe you off the windows They got kids that'll try to kill you at the carwash Coming down with blades up in their boots They'll cut your fingers off your gun before you shoot All this dancing's gonna lead to heavy breathing All these pills are gonna 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 their 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 They're singing songs we both like When they were waving from the windows They're singing songs we both like When they were waving from the windows They're singing songs we both like Yeah, they take you right up to the windows Down on trapper avenue Down on trapper avenue Down on trapper avenue
