Does anyone know what the Red Lion refers to? I know Okkervil were in Texas, but I'm near Silverlake, Ca and there's a Red Lion Tavern local bands and just us regular common people meet up at. Anyway, that's what I always think of when I hear it. "Hand your keys over cos you've been drinking."

This is just great writing and epic sounds. The "Maybe" part gets me. In many ways our lives ARE like movies...the climax, the let-down, the resolution. Or maybe you've had a boring, bland life so you can't relate and your life is not a movie, that's why you like watching them! Stop watching them! Go out and make your life something! :)

The Red Lion is just a stereotypical name for a bar. For example the Red Lion is the name of the bar in Animal Farm and in other literary works.

You are sooo smart and should be a professor of music and lifeology. just coined that shit. THanks again, I don't think I could live with your knowledge:)

"THanks again, I don't think I could live with your knowledge:)"...I'm guessin' he mistyped. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's kind of cute so we keep him around:)
