Love in the Big Town |
This is the place where nobody comes from |
Perfect strangers in this desert town |
Just out of flame and looking for favours |
Hungry players when the deals go down |
You get a hollow heart from shallow breathing |
And a see-through smile like the ones on T. V |
This is the land of thrills and money where you |
Hit the edge and you drift out to sea |
It seems so real, looks so good |
But you’d give it all up and you’d start again if you thought you could |
And it sounds so sweet, feels so right |
But it leaves you cold in the middle of the night |
Step right up, lay your money down |
If you’re looking to buy love in the big town |
Lift you up, tear you down |
Leave you begging for more love in the big town |
Down in the street with the waiters and mystics |
When you got faith in nothing, you just fantasize |
You look for a flame but you’d fall for a flicker |
In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes |
They seem so real and they look so good |
And with a bit of persuasion you really believe you know you could |
Tastes so sweet, feels so right |
But it leaves you cold in the heart of the night |
Step right up, (lay your) money down |
If you’re looking to find love in the big town |
Lift you up, tear you down |
They’ll leave you begging for more love in the big town |
Oh you learn to use all your desperation |
Till it works its way into your soul |
Then you find out that you slowly lose control |
Step right up, (lay your) money down |
If you’re looking to find love in the big town |
Lift you up, tear you down |
They’ll leave you begging for more love in the big town |
Step right up, (lay your) money down |
If you’re looking to find love in the big town |
Lift you up, tear you down |
They’ll leave you begging for more love in the big town |
