Lyrics

The television's on, but I'm walking through the yard
The house is fast asleep and I'm crying in my car

Dying for the weekend

The kids are alright, but they don't smile much
They're set up in the garage with their decks and their stuff

Dying for the weekend

The boy's on a charge, but his mother doesn't know
I never got around yet to telling her so

It would only make her crazy

And I'll be fine
I'm only screaming in my head
But I can fly
I close my eyes and I can fly

The television's on, but I'm walking through the yard
The house is fast asleep and I'm crying in my car

Dying for the weekend

The kids have got a gig at an all-night rave
They're looking pretty tough, but I still want to say

"Do you really have to go?"

Down in the backstreet, a skinny kid cries
Bad Drug Saturday, another life flies

Dying for the weekend

And I'll be fine
I'm only screaming in my head
But I can fly
I close my eyes and I can fly

And I can fly
And fall toward the end

And I can fly

And I'll be fine
I'm only screaming in my head
But I can fly
I close my eyes and I can fly
