BIG TIME LIGHTS   

Things are moving way too fast
Nothing in this place ever seems to last
You've got your troubles and I've got mine
Everyone here has heard of better times
I've seen better days but these will have to do
I've seen nicer places but then so have you

Too many lights, too many sounds
Too many rumours doing the rounds
I have seen the pale mornings come and go
I've been watching the rivers overflow
Men are free with nothing to show for it
Some hide from the big time, some just go for it

BRIDGE:
The big time lights, they caught my eye
One time when i was passing by
Sweat and dirt and dollar bills
Pretty people, pretty thrills
Big time lights, burning up the big time nights

CHORUS:
Tincture splendour and painless haze
Standing and looking a million ways
Trying to find shelter, hope I haven't mislaid it
Got to go far, honey, coz I still haven't made it

You and I, we were so torn by our needs
Like cobwebs caught up in the age of speed
Spoonfuls of reasons to laugh and cry
I'd die to look once more into your eyes
My life is in splinters, but then what's new
It's the same everywhere, it could have happened to you

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
