THE HOLD STEADY LYRICS - The Weekenders

"The Weekenders"



There was that whole weird thing with the horses

I think they know exactly what happened, I don't think it needs any explaining

I'm pretty sure I wasn't your first choice

I think I was the last one remaining



I wish we hadn't gone and destroyed it

'Cause I was thinking we could pull another weekender

You've still got a little bit of clairvoyance



I remember the metal bar

I remember the reservoir

You could say our paths had crossed before



So if it has to be a secret, then I guess that I can deal with it

You and I both know it's a negative thing

In the end only the girls know the whole truth



There were a couple pretty crass propositions

There were some bugs in the bars, there was a kid camped out by the coat check

She said the theme of this party's the industrial age

And you came in dressed like a train wreck



I remember the OTB

Five second delivery

You could say our paths had crossed before



So if it has to be a secret, then I guess that I can deal with it

God only knows it's not always a positive thing

To see a few seconds into the future



And if you swear to keep it decent, then yeah, I'll come and see you

But it's not gonna be like in romantic comedies

In the end I bet no one learns a lesson



So if it has to be a secret, then I guess that I can deal with it

You and I both know it's a negative thing

In the end only the girls know the whole truth



And if you swear to keep it decent, then yeah, I'll come and see you

But it's not gonna be like in romantic comedies

In the end I bet no one learns a lesson



In the end only the girls know the whole truth

In the end I bet no one learns a lesson
