Saturday Night (Yeasayer)

[Verse 1]
Mama, you're beautiful tonight
Movie star hair and that black eye
I can't even notice it when you smile so hard through a heartfelt lie
Go kiss the liquor off his laugh
Another suitcase full of cash
Shiny apologies in a velvet box, what a real good man

[Pre-Chorus]
We drive brand new cars
And we light fine cigars
We shine like small town stars
Through the best days of our lives

[Chorus]
We would walk right down the pavement
And know we're gonna be just fine
And I'd put on my dancing shoes real tight
'Cause it's just anothеr Saturday night

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Another fist, another wall
Wе lose ourselves, we lose it all
I wrote him a hundred times
Can you hear my heart through the prison bars?
The boys I kiss don't know my name
The tears I cry all taste of blame
Bad luck and dirty cops
I'm a fucking teenage tragedy

[Pre-Chorus]
I walk lonely streets
And I talk big time dreams
So hold on before you see
That you're better off without me

[Chorus]
'Cause when I look up from the pavement
I know I'm gonna be just fine
And I put on my dancing shoes real tight
'Cause it's just another Saturday night

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
There's a rainbow on the bathroom door again
Where the lipstick slides and the pearls all fly, oh
I'm gone and I ain't coming back this time
I'm gonna find my home underneath the city lights, oh

[Verse 3]
Pills fall like diamonds from my purse
Right out the hole in my fur coat
Straight down the gutter goes my antidote to a broken girl
I promise I'll be the one you want
Don't tell me I'm unfixable
You don't know what it's like to be seventeen with no place to go

[Pre-Chorus]
But give me just one night
And I'll be almost fine
Remind me one more time
It's the best days of my life

[Chorus]
'Cause when I look up from the pavement
I know I'm gonna be just fine
And I'll put on my dancing shoes real tight
'Cause it's just another Saturday night

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
'Cause it's just another Saturday night
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
Just another Saturday night
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh
'Cause it's just another Saturday night

[Outro]
(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night
(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night
(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night
(Oh) 'Cause it's just another Saturday night
