(Springfield)

Another day passes like a ghost

Wishing you were any place but here

From your prison cell of flesh and bone

you send a prayer on it's suicide last flight

into the air - into the rain

and it sends you nothing back again



Hey Maria its a big beautiful Friday night

Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah



Day to day and coast to coast

everything seems anything but clear

Inside your skin of steel and stone

your need for somebody wakes you late at night

but there's something there you can't explain

as you come in bed alone again.



Hey Maria, it's a big beautiful Friday night.

Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah

Hey Maria, why don't we drink like we just don't care tonight?

Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah



Life is a perfect song with a fractured beat.

Yeah its a one way sign on a dead end street.



Hey Maria you sure look beautiful tonight



Hey Maria it's a big beautiful Friday night

Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah.

Hey Maria don't let it be so complicated tonight.

Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah.
