| Song | Bright Lights And Promises |
| Artist | Janis Ian |
| Album | Between The Lines |
| 作词 : Ian | |
| Bright lights and promises | |
| A pocket full of dreams | |
| That's what they pay me to be | |
| Gold lame' and diamonds | |
| I'm a hometown queen | |
| Honey, would you sing it just for me? | |
| When I was good, then | |
| I was badI never thought | |
| I'd end up this way | |
| With no dreams to hide me | |
| Bright lights to guide me | |
| How long does it take to make the grade? | |
| Everywhere | |
| I hear a ringing in my ears | |
| Drummer, let the music play | |
| Give me small town blues | |
| Make it loud, make it do | |
| Listen to the music sway | |
| Bar rails and cocktails, have you got a light? | |
| In that what it pays to keep in sight | |
| Overused and much abused promises of delight | |
| Honey, would you care to spend the night? | |
| Take a little time, some memories and wine | |
| Loosen up the sucker by the bar | |
| And if he wants to hold you | |
| If he wants to know you | |
| Honey, that's what you're here for | |
| Until all | |
| I seeIs them reaching out for me? | |
| Drummer, play that old time melody | |
| Bright lights and promises, that's all it's for | |
| Leave and enter by the service door | |
| Now I'm gold lame' and diamonds | |
| Even if my gold is worn | |
| Honey, can you show me more? |
