Bright Lights Big City letra

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 afterwards 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
