Richard Ashcroft - Bright Lights lyrics

rate me

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
