Sweet Spots Lyrics
Well I stuffed my stuff into a sport sac and I took the Lake St. El
Well I got off Cicero and I snuck in through one of the loading docks
And I smiled as I sucked my gem I mean to take a room at the Brack’s
Yeah Yeah!
Well I put things into the pockets of my parachute pants and I walked on up the street.
Now Galewood makes me nervous but the corn syrup cloud’s such a lure
So I’m staying off to the side at this end of the M&M Mars tour
Yeah Yeah!
Well I bought a bike but the chair broke right outside of Parky’s
Well the wait was making my eyes wet and sticking french fries down my throat
But I had to press on cause sweeter stuff’s on the other side of the moat
Yeah Yeah!
Well the cars were turning off Harlem so I had to stop and stare
And I had to gulp for air oh my heart was racing I made my escape
I’s red hot to get lemonheaded and live with Alexander the Grape
Yeah Yeah!
Well I got off Cicero and I snuck in through one of the loading docks
And I smiled as I sucked my gem I mean to take a room at the Brack’s
Now Galewood makes me nervous but the corn syrup cloud’s such a lure
So I’m staying off to the side at this end of the M&M Mars tour
Well the wait was making my eyes wet and sticking french fries down my throat
But I had to press on cause sweeter stuff’s on the other side of the moat
And I had to gulp for air oh my heart was racing I made my escape
I’s red hot to get lemonheaded and live with Alexander the Grape

This song is excellent. I guess it's his little sweet spots in NYC. haha.
a sweet spot in Chicago...
References a lot of places on the west side of Chicago. The Lake Street El (the Green Line) heads straight west out of downtown. Cicero is a major north-south street a ways west. Harlem is another, further west still. Brach's used to have a massive candy manufacturing plant along the Green Line.
Sounds like the protagonist sneaks into the candy plant to steal some freebies!
