Friday Night
The Damned Things Lyrics

Write a note and keep the car running
Leave quickly and don't get caught, but make sure to leave a message behind to let them know you were there.

Hide the evidence in front of their eyes
Be sneaky and hide what you're doing in plain sight, so nobody suspects a thing.

The heat of passion but in the sweat we're baptized
We're doing things that make us excited and passionate, almost like a religious experience.

Don't ask if I know what I'm doing
I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Because I don't know, I don't know
Just emphasizing that they really have no idea what they're doing.

But if I have to, I'll do it on my own
They're independent and will go ahead with their plans regardless of if anyone is with them or not.

And if you look for rhyme or a reason
If you're looking for a logical explanation for what we're doing, you won't find one.

Your head will spin because
The situation can be confusing and disorienting.

All I want is another good time
They just want to have fun and enjoy themselves.

It's Friday night and Sunday's saints have gone away
It's the weekend and people who are usually more reserved have gone home.

They're out of sight
They're no longer in the scene, so we can let loose.

Cross the world in search of a balance
We're constantly searching for a way to balance our desires with our responsibilities.

The white whale keeps eluding me
That balance is difficult to find and seems just out of reach.

We've got our hooks in, now we're dragged by our feet
We may be trapped in the situation we've created for ourselves, unable to escape.

Don't ask if I know where it's going
Again, they do not have a clear idea of where things are headed.

But where I end up is where I rest my bones
They have to accept wherever they end up as their fate, regardless of what happens.

My mind is racing, the room's in a spin
They're excited and overstimulated by what's happening around them.

And I'm tired of knockin', so just let me in
They're ready for action and don't want to waste any time.

You know where I'm headin', and I know where you've been
They both know what they're getting into, and may have even done similar things before.

That ain't gonna stop from giving in
Their past experiences won't keep them from indulging in the present moment.

It's Friday night, so let my demons draw the line
They're willing to let their less-than-virtuous tendencies take over and guide them for the night.

Just stay on your side
They're warning others to not get involved, as they're not taking responsibility for what happens.

And if we're all going in flames
They acknowledge that things might be heading towards disaster, but they're not going to try and stop it.

I think the devil just called my name
They're giving in to their less-than-virtuous tendencies and embracing their sinful side.
