Bright Lights Big City |
Bright lights big city |
Burned my baby’s eyes |
And like a fool I swallowed |
My baby’s lies |
I followed her round like a dog |
Et up her lies like a hog |
And just as I’m set to explode |
She says Daddy don’t leave me |
Newsman says people like her |
Are born under a bad sign |
They said they found a knife |
In my baby’s hands |
Well I was not there at the time |
But agterwards I read the headlines |
She looks up at me with those brown eyes |
Says Daddy don’t leave me |
Believe me |
I climb to the top of a no-tree hill |
Stare hard as I can at the sun |
I say why did you have to rise today? |
And what did she mean to you anyway? |
It will take a strong anaesthetic |
To keep her away |
Nightly I rinse out my blood |
To clean off the mark she made |
I’m going back home now |
To be of some help, be of some good |
For a while then I could have been a goner |
I could have been lost for good |
Bright Lights! |
Drink up, it’s getting |
Dimmer now! |
Bright Lights! |
Getting darker now |
Bright lights big city |
Burned my baby’s eyes |
And like a fool I swallowed |
My baby’s lies |
I followed her round like a lap-dog |
Et up her lies like a sap-hog |
And just as I’m set to explode |
She says Daddy don’t leave me |
Leave me, don’t believe me |
Don’t leave me |
