Knockoff Craig Finn

Gideon said hes gonna be the Vice President / I said you’ve got better luck running for President of Vice

hey Paul / I saw you play a show last night in Queens / who ever thought we'd open for the patron saint of the scene

we're too enlightened to be frightened / we're too high to get much higher / you gotta know your sellers from your buyers

Push past the drunks and hold back the children / Roll back the stoners, The Replacements are risen

I like those days when my state stands tall / I'd rather be known for equality than a mall

I don't know about this Minnesota Nice / but I can get Minnesota Wild if it's for the right price

It's kind of hard to tell the difference / between these women in his life / and those women of the night

They call me Mr. Three-Button Suit / yeah, 'cause I do some lawyering downtown / but I'll take you on a vision quest if you're down

We were only on Born to Run, side one track two / when I heard you say "I love you, too" / yeah, it was a new world record

Straight edge kids out on the ledge / hardcore girls banging down the door / Lord, to be forever 24

I pointed at her kid and said "Who's the dad?" / she said "Who can tell?" / "That's why his name's Emmanuel"

Everyone asks what you're giving up for lent / tell 'em you gave up giving up

She says she misses the real me / I say "I don't think you feel me" / then I wipe at my nose and she drinks

She said 'You kinda look like Westerberg' / I said 'I kinda think your vision's blurred'

I don't wanna live like some fantasy league apostle / my life story ain't fiction, it's gospel

Mixtapes and mistakes / closing tracks and Kerouac / Lord, to be seventeen forever

She walked out of the bar into the world / she says holding steady almost killed her / she's just that kind of girl

We were bored so we started a band / you were floored so we called it a brand / I guess it all goes kind of hand-in-hand, man

She said, "Come back to the darkness" but he went into the light / She swears she saw Charlemagne in Los Angeles tonight

Everyone's in love when life is fine / the Twins by eight in Anaheim
