Preludes Songtext
von Craig Finn

Well the gangsters drove Preludes and sold this one we'd called White Tiger
Worth Park had a Betty, 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 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 says
He went through my jacket and found all my packets and matches
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
