lyrics

Weekend in Transit

Jane arrived from an unknown place with
half a smile and a dimple on her face
half asleep in her bright red pants
tell right away that she does or used to dance
stepping out of her pontiac with
everything she owns stuffed in the back
she ain't to proud to steal
she said

let me tell you about my little brother
oh god he makes me smile
we used to be in the circus together but
he fell asleep and died

well i saw Jane turn red
when this guy asked her if she's got a boyfriend she said
no, not at the moment though i
wouldn't mind having my heart broken
she studies the ground at her feet she said
my life's a weekend in transit incomplete
nowheres my home
she said

let me tell you about my little sister
oh god she's just like me
we used to be in the circus together but
she wanted to be free

i'd love to tell you why
but i know you'll never keep up with me
i'd love to tell you the reasons why
but i know you'll never wake up with me

let me tell you about my little brother
oh god he makes me smile
we used to be in the circus together but
he fell asleep and died
you know my life is a weekend in transit
i'm lucky to survive
another night alone i can't stand it
waking up in drive
alone waking up in drive
alone waking up in drive
