Alannah Myles Love In The Big Town
This is the place where nobody comes from Perfect strangers in this desert town Just out of flame and looking for favours 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, looks so good But you'd give it all up and you'd start again if you thought you could And it sounds so sweet, feels so right But it leaves you cold in the middle of the night Step right up, lay your 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 You look for a flame but you'd fall for a flicker In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes They seem so real and they look so good And with a bit of persuasion you really believe you know you could Tastes so sweet, feels so right But it leaves you cold in the heart of the night Chorus: Step right up, (lay your) 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 chorus repeats 2x... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
