lyrics

It's my first real day off and I feel like I'm not taking advantage.
As I turn round the corner I can see all their eyes descend upon me.
They say "Hey where you going?"
"I don't know...I gotta put a lock on something."
Cause real cool people ain't that way all the time.

Said I feel like Columbus with a boat, give me something to discover.
and they don't have maps, but plenty of drinks so I guess I'll have another.
It's like some Korean movie I don't know.
Leave the subtitles on.
Cause real cool people ain't no friends of mine.

Oh, it seems we are out of whiskey.
But I'll follow you out there in the autumn sun.

As I talk back to Dwyer, she says, "I'll move out of town before the summer."
Said it's all about choices.
I think I'll choose to pass out right on the lawn here.
Said "I don't like New Orleans anymore...they stole my favorite girl from me."
and real cool people get shot all the time.

Oh, it seems we are out of whiskey.
and I'll follow you out there in the autumn sun.
