Another day passes like a ghost
And youre wishing you were any place but here
From your prison cell of flesh and bone
You send a prayer on its suicide last flight
Into the air, into the rain
And it sends you nothing back again

Hey maria its a big beautiful friday night
Hey 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 night
But theres something there you cant explain
As you come in bed alone again

Hey maria, its a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria - hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Hey maria, why dont we drink til we just dont care tonight
Hey 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, its a big beautiful friday night
Hey maria, hey na na, hey na na na yeah
Hey maria dont let it be so complicated tonight
Hey maria, hey na na, hey na na na yeah
