My Old Apartment

V5

Verse 1 Our little apartment smelled like cats Backed up to the parking lot of Shooks bar In the wee hours we'd hear the drunks kicked out Cussing at the bouncer and bartender Verse 2 Every once in a while came cop cars' wail And ambulances screaming through the night Once or twice we even heard the crack of guns Echoing under the pale streetlight Chorus We'd cuddle close and pray the brick walls held Look for bullet holes up in the ceiling All I remember is the heat and the sweat I can't recall how it ended but I remember the feeling Verse 3 I'd get up slow and head off to school While you'd lie naked and beg me to stay Pulling me back beneath the tangled sheets Making me late almost every day Chorus We'd cuddle close and pray the brick walls held Look for bullet holes up in the ceiling All I remember is the heat and the sweat I can't recall how it ended but I remember the feeling ...But I remember the feeling Bridge But I'm not in that apartment anymore The cats are gone, the sirens finally fade I reach across this empty, quiet floor And wonder how the hell we lost those days Final Chorus We'd cuddle close and pray the brick walls held Look for bullet holes up in the ceiling All I remember is the heat and the sweat I can't recall how it ended...
