Song Lyrics

You want to go out FridayAnd you want to go forever.You know that it sounds childishThat you`ve dreamt of alligators.You hope that we are all with youAnd you hope that you`re recognizedYou want to go foreverYou see it in my eyes.I`m lost in the confusionAnd it doesn`t seem to matterYou really can`t believe itAnd you hope it`s getting better.You want to trust the doctorsTheir procedure is the bestBut the last try was a failureAnd the intern was a mess.They did the same to MatthewAnd he bled `til Sunday night They`re saying don`t be frightenedBut you`re weakened by the sight of itYou lock into a patternAnd you know that it`s the last ditchYou`re trying to see through itAnd it doesn`t make senseBut they`re saying don`t be frightenedAnd they`re killing alligatorsAnd they`re hog-tiedAnd accepting of the struggleYou want to trust religionAnd you know it`s allegoryBut the people who are followersHave written their own story.So you look up to the heavensAnd you hope that it`s a spaceshipAnd it`s something from your childhoodYour thinking don`t be frightenedYou want to climb the ladderYou want to see foreverYou want to go out FridayAnd you want to go forever.And you want to cross your DNATo cross your DNA with something reptile.And you`re questioning the sciencesAnd questioning religionYou`re looking like an idiotAnd you no longer care.And you want to bridge the schism,The built in mechanism to protect you.And you`re looking for salvationAnd you`re looking for deliveranceYou`re looking like an idiotAnd you no longer care.You want to climb the ladderYou want to see forever.You want to go out FridayYou want to go forever.
