[Verse 1]

Look alive, look alive

Can't catch us by surprise this time, this time

We drift, we drift like phantoms and the cautious

They sing us their anthems

We can quote, we can quote you any of the hymnals

While seated in the back pew

But we are terrified of what we've said and done tonight

[Chorus]

We are the dirty, rotten, cheap and confused

Caught in a lost weekend, a lost weekend

Holy rollers and jokers, the fantasy's over

So return as prodigals

[Verse 2]

Smash the walls, fight your friends

It's getting out of hand again, again

Freezing cold, freezing cold

This cigarette is useless

I swear it's my last one

We are ghosts, we are ghosts

We're hiding from our day jobs in bar room sanctuaries

We are terrified of what we've said and done tonight

[Chorus]

We are the dirty, rotten, cheap and confused

Caught in a lost weekend, a lost weekend

Holy rollers and jokers, the fantasy's over

So return as prodigals

We are the dirty, rotten, cheap and confused

Caught in a lost weekend, a lost weekend

Holy rollers and jokers, the fantasy's over

So return as prodigals

[Bridge]

We lost our way

We starved for days

Is that the best that we can do?

[Chorus]

We are the dirty, rotten, cheap and confused

Caught in a lost weekend, a lost weekend

Holy rollers and jokers, the fantasy's over

So return as prodigals

We are the dirty, the rotten

The cheap and confused

Caught in a lost weekend, (Again)

Holy rollers and jokers, the fantasy's over

So return as prodigals

We are the dirty, rotten, cheap and confused

Caught in a lost weekend, a lost weekend (Again)

Holy rollers and jokers, the fantasy's over

So return as prodigals
