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...
