Stan Ridgway - Lost Weekend lyrics

Drivin' outta vegas in their automobile She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel With the windows wide open All the money from the store, they'd gambled away He said "the best laid plans often go astray" She took the page of a book and turned it down She lit a cigarette, she didn't make a sound "and i know, if we'd had just one more chance," he said "i know, we'd finally hit the big one at last", she said Chorus: (instead of) another lost weekend Lost weekend Another lost weekend Lost weekend "pull over soon," she said, "it's no big deal, You can take any exit that you happen to feel Is the right one" The right one As she slowly blew her smoke out the rear wind vent She thought back on all the letters she'd sent For a contest to be on a quiz game show "maybe i shoulda stayed in school," he said "yeah, i know Chorus repeat x2 She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began to smile "there's a place we can stay at... it's up another mile."
