The bright lights of the big city They taught us how to think, they taught us how to steal Come on and steal me, steal me You took your razor tongue to my lovin' eyes You said "A time to live, now's the time to die" Come on now die with me, die with me
Can't you see there must be more for me You know you're livin' a lie And so am I You know I'd have a breakdown But I don't have the time
I get up straight, I take my pill I swallow it whole, I don't feel ill It ain't a crime to live, it ain't a crime to die It ain't a crime to walk in this big, big sky Come on now walk with me, walk with me Can't you see there must be more for me You know you're livin' a lie And so am I I know you'd have a breakdown But you don't have the time And you're all messed up Waiting for a sign You want me to paint it I haven't got the time
Take a ride with me
It ain't no crime to walk, it ain't no crime to fly It ain't no crime to die, it ain't no crime to take a walk in the big sky
The bright lights of the big city They taught us how to think, they taught us how to see can you (Twenty, twenty-first century breakdown) Can't you see there must be more for me You know you're livin' a lie And so am I I know you'd have a breakdown But you don't have the time And you're all messed up Waiting for a sign You want me to paint it I haven't got the time And it's making me crazy I don't know where I fit I guess in the end We're all sick
Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me Come on now ride with me, just take a ride with me Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty-first Twenty twenty twenty twenty-first Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty (The bright lights of the big city) Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty sound (The bright lights of the big city) Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty vision (The bright lights of the big city) Come on now ride with me Come on now ride with me
