Lyrics

i'm so tired of working everyday
now the weekend's come
i'm gonna throw my troubles away
if you've got the cab fare, mister
you'll do alright
i want to see the bright lights tonight
meet me at the station don't be late
i need to spend some money and it just won't wait
take me to the dance and hold me tight
i want to see the bright lights tonight
there's crazy people running all over town
there's a silver band just marching up and down
and the big boys are all spoiling for a fight
i want to see the bright lights tonight
meet me at the station don't be late
i need to spend some money and it just won't wait
take me to the dance and hold me tight
i want to see the bright lights tonight
a couple of drunken nights rolling on the floor,
is just the kind of mess i'm looking for
i'm going to dream 'till Monday comes in sight
i want to see the bright lights tonight
meet me at the station, don't be late
i need to spend some money and it just won't wait
take me to the dance and hold me tight
i want to see the bright lights tonight
take me to the dance and hold me tight
i want to see the bright lights tonight
