Metarie - Brendan Benson
Written by：Brendan Benson
Met a girl introduced myself yeah
I asked her to go with me and no one else
She said I'd really like to see you everyday yeah
But I'm afraid of what my friends might say
You need a bath and your clothes are wrong yeah
You're not my type I can tell we wouldn't get along
I just laughed what else could I do
Just then her friend chimed in singin' get a clue
Get a life put it in your song put it in your song
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue
I'd had enough I couldn't take it anymore
Ah ah ah ah yeah
So I turned and I ran straight for the door
Bought some mags on my way home
For later on you go when I'm all alone
Bottle of wine and some cigarettes
A racing form maybe maybe I'll make some bets
I know a guy lives in Los Angeles
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous
I'd like to move out of this place
Change my name get a new face
Get a life put it in my song put it in my song
There's something I've been meaning to say to you
I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue
I'd like to move out of this place
Change my name maybe get a new face
Sleep all day stay up all night
Ah ah ah ah yeah
Everybody I meet thinks I'm alright
Get a life
