Craig Finn
Tangletown (Acoustic)
Happy hour in those high-heel boots
Splitting checks for some massive 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
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 passes out
Pretends a bit that the place is hers
Takes a bottle when she’s walking out
Works 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
Keeps his eyes on the sales reports
He keeps in shape with the racquet sports
Tennis courts and the tennis shorts
He lost his shirt in a bad divorce
The lawyers came and they scraped him away
He kept the house, but he lost his way
He goes to work, but they take half his pay
He leased a car that makes him look ok
The lawyer 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 a place that’s always new and loud
He can barely even hear her talk, just stares beyond her shoulder
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
Go 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
Goes to work and then when he gets off
Tries to hang around some finer things
Tries to hang around some finer things
Tries to hang around some finer things
