Rick Springfield
"Big Beautiful Friday Night"

(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.
