| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
