|
This is the place where nobody comes from |
|
Perfect strangers in this desert town |
|
Just out of flame, looking for favors |
|
Hungry players when the deals go down |
|
You get a hollow heart from shallow breathing |
|
And a see-through smile like the ones on T.V. |
|
This is the land of thrills and money where you |
|
Hit the edge and you drift out to sea |
|
It seems so real |
|
(So real) |
|
Looks so good |
|
(So good) |
|
But you'd give it all up |
|
And you'd start again |
|
If you thought you could |
|
And it sounds so sweet |
|
(So sweet) |
|
Feels so right |
|
(So right) |
|
But it leaves you cold |
|
In the middle of the night |
|
Step right up, money down |
|
If you're looking to buy love in the big town |
|
Lift you up, tear you down |
|
Leave you begging for more love in the big town |
|
Down in the street with the waiters and mystics |
|
When you got faith in nothing, you just fantasize |
|
Look for a flame but you'd fall for a flicker |
|
In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes |
|
Seem so real |
|
(So real) |
|
And they look so good |
|
(So good) |
|
And with a bit of persuasion |
|
You really believe you know you could |
|
Tastes so sweet |
|
(So sweet) |
|
Feels so right |
|
(So right) |
|
But it leaves you cold |
|
In the heart of the night |
|
Step right up, money down |
|
If you're looking to find love in the big town |
|
Lift you up, tear you down |
|
They'll leave you begging for more love in the big town |
|
Oh, you learn to use all your desperation |
|
Till it works its way into your soul |
|
Then you find out that you slowly lose control |
|
Step right up, money down |
|
If you're looking to find love in the big town |
|
Lift you up, tear you down |
|
They'll leave you begging for more love in the big town |
|
Step right up, money down |
|
If you're looking to find love in the big town |
|
Lift you up, tear you down |
|
They'll leave you begging for more love in the big town |
|
You want love in the big town |
|
We need love |
|
(We're gonna turn you on) |
|
(We're gonna tear you down) |
|
In the big town |
|
(Yeah, hey) |
|
Aha, you want love, ooh yeah, in the big town |
|
We need love, hey, hey, yeah, in the big town |
|
Yeah, yeah, you want love in the big town |
