Lyrics Bright Lights - Richard Ashcroft

Bright Lights

The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to steal
Come on and steal me, steal me You took your razor tongue to my lovin' eyes
You said «A time to live, now’s the time to die»
Come on now die with me, die with me Can’t you see there must be more for me You know you’re livin' a lie
And so am I You know I’d have a breakdown
But I don’t have the time
I get up straight, I take my pill
I swallow it whole, I don’t feel ill
It ain’t a crime to live, it ain’t a crime to die
It ain’t a crime to walk in this big, big sky
Come on now walk with me, walk with me Can’t you see there must be more for me You know you’re livin' a lie
And so am I I know you’d have a breakdown
But you don’t have the time
And you’re all messed up Waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it I haven’t got the time
Take a ride with me It ain’t no crime to walk, it ain’t no crime to fly
It ain’t no crime to die, it ain’t no crime to take a walk in the big sky
The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to see can you
(Twenty, twenty-first century breakdown)
Can’t you see there must be more for me You know you’re livin' a lie
And so am I I know you’d have a breakdown
But you don’t have the time
And you’re all messed up Waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it I haven’t got the time
And it’s making me crazy
I don’t know where I fit
I guess in the end
We’re all sick
Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me Come on now ride with me, just take a ride with me Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty sound
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty vision
(The bright lights of the big city)
Come on now ride with me Come on now ride with me
