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 |
