lyrics

Sunday evening's flatter than a soda that someone left the lid off overnight
Like an isolated town in Minnesota, too many miles from anywhere and slightly frightning

Where did the weekend go? Where did the weekend go?
How did it pass so fast? I just want to know
Where oh where did the weekend go?

Weekdays are like visits to the dentist...there's a certain sameness to the drill
The way you spend your days seems slightly senseless
Monotony is sapping all your will
And you wonder

Where did the weekend go? Where did the weekend go?
How did it pass so fast? I just want to know
Where oh where did the weekend go?

So why can't some scientist of scholar
Investigate what factors have gone wrong?
When minutes on the job each seem like hours
And weekend hours seem fifteen minutes long
And they fly by

Life is like a wheel and you're a hamster, and even if you squeal you get no grease
To much revolving, not enough evolving, and weekends are your only moment's peace
But it's fleeting

Where did the weekend go? Where did the weekend go?
How did it pass so fast? I just want to know
Where oh where did the weekend go?
