Saturday nights fill the void Of weekday frustrations And work’s condemnations It ends the longing for something else Or someone else Or just someone, really So all the cool, lonely people Go to the heartbreak hotel And dance and drink And hope to find the thing That they don’t even know They are looking for
So we see through the eyes Of hazy drunk people Falling in love with the world And themselves And everyone else Everyone who seems interesting enough People made beautiful By dancing and drinking Hoping to find something or someone they lost In the arms of a stranger
And I don’t mind That you’re thinking about him I’m used to being late To the party anyway And it has become a second nature To come second To substitute long gone ghosts Marinaded in the melancholy Of expensive drinks And music I can’t relate to
But I keep on longing for the Saturday Night Live experience Because being lost In a lost crowd Has become so familiar As it replaces The horror of weekday frustrations Of work’s condemnations Of longing for something else Or someone else Or just someone
