Jason Falkner - Metarie lyrics

[Verse 1: Brendan Benson] Met a girl, introduced myself, yeah I asked her go to with me and no one else And she said, "I'd really like to see you every day But I'm afraid of what my friends might say" [Verse 2] "You need a bath and your clothes are wrong 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" [Chorus 1] "Get a life, put it in your song (Put in your song) [Bridge] There's something I've been meaning to say to you I've run out of gas and I'm stuck like glue [Verse 3] I'd had enough, I couldn't take it anymore So I turned and I ran straight for the door Bought some mags on my way home For later on, you know, when I'm all alone [Verse 4] A 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 [Pre-Chorus] I'd like to move out of this place Should change my name, get a new face [Chorus 2] Get a life put it in my song (Put in my song) [Bridge] [Pre-Chorus] Sleep all day, stay up all night Everybody I meet thinks I'm alright Get a life
