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
|
