About

A spiritual successor to “Chips Ahoy!” from the album Boys and Girls in America — a clairvoyant’s bet on a horse race makes for some easy cash, and a wasted week of drugs, sex, and sleep. In this song, our narrator asks if they can get back together and repeat the adventure.

The Weekenders Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was that whole weird thing with the horses
I think they know exactly what happened
I don't think it needs any explaining
I'm pretty sure I wasn't your first choice
I think I was the last one remaining
I wish we hadn't gone and destroyed it
'Cause I was thinkin’ we could pull another weekender
If you’ve still got a little bit of clairvoyance

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember the metal bar
I remember the reservoir
You could say our paths have crossed before

[Chorus]
So if it has to be a secret, then I guess that I can deal with it
You and I both know it's a negative thing
In the end, only the girls know the whole truth

[Verse 2]
There were a couple pretty crass propositions
There were some bugs in the bars
There was a kid camped out by the coat check
She said the theme of this party is the industrial age
You came in dressed like a train wreck

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember the OTB,
The five second delivery.
You could say our paths had crossed before

[Chorus]
So if it has to be a secret, then I guess that I can deal with it
God only knows it's not always a positive thing
To see a few seconds into the future
And if you swear to keep it decent
Then yeah, I'll come and see you
But it's not gonna be like in romantic comedies
In the end, I bet no one learns a lesson

[Outro]
In the end, only the girls know the whole truth
In the end, I bet no one learns a lesson
