It's a take-out weekend It's a fake-out smile and pretend If nobody sees you cry You can say it was raining outside CHORUS And all that you want Is a few days down All that you need A little time to drown It's to be expected With all the weight you carry 'round All that you want is A Few Days Down It's a short vacation To a foreign nation Oh, nothing familiar here Just you and your lonesome heart complaining CHORUS I'm looking out Ten stories high And like a blanket lifted The quiet night The city finally waking up To the morning light CHORUS
