Craig Finn - Trapper Avenue [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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
