Lost Weekend Lyrics - Call Of The West - Wall Of Voodoo

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 knowstart your own business cleanin' swimming pools," she said 

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."
