Preludes Lyrics - Craig Finn

Well the gangsters drove Preludes and sold this one weed called White Tiger 

Wirth Park had a body 

The holiday guy couldn't make change 

The parking lot scene still existed, but not without problems 

I came back to St. Paul and things had progressed and got strange 

I got stuck in a snowbank 

I was too drunk to drive to Edina 

Right there is proof of my faith that God watches us 

And the North Stars went south 

And my friends all went out to Seattle 

I stuck around town 

Hit the bars then wait for the bus 

And the guys at Northeast ride bicycles up to the market 

Fish take to water but licenses they get revoked 

And the writing on walls in the stalls in the bathroom says "Cindy's so easy" 

But I've never met Cindy, besides it might be a joke 

Fish take to water but licenses they get revoked 

I got stuck in a snowbank 

I was too drunk to drive to Edina 

Right there is proof of my faith that God watches us 

And the North Stars went south 

And my friends all went out to Seattle 

I stuck around town 

Hit the bars then wait for the bus 

I was down on the trails by the river when this guy jumped out 

He was waving a pistol 

I consider my options 

Decided to do what he said 

He went through my jacket and found all my packets and matches 

He lit up a cig and put the Kryptonite over my head 

I was knocked out down in the mud too heavy to float off to Memphis 

The crust from the camps they pulled me awake with a stick 

Made coffee over a campfire 

I described my attacker 

They patched up my wounds, showed me a place to get sick 

They patched up my wounds, showed me a place to get sick 

I got stuck in a snowbank 

And God watches us 

We got into the Preludes 

And God watches us 

God watches us
