Bright lights big city
burned my baby's eyes
And like a fool I swallowed
my baby's lies
I followed her round like a dog
Et up her lies like a hog
And just as I'm set to explode
she says Daddy don't leave me

Newsman says people like her
are born under a bad sign
They said they found a knife
in my baby's hands
Well I was not there at the time
But agterwards I read the headlines
She looks up at me with those brown eyes
Says Daddy don't leave me
Believe me

I climb to the top of a no-tree hill
Stare hard as I can at the sun
I say why did you have to rise today ?
And what did she mean to you anyway ?

It will take a strong anaesthetic
to keep her away
Nightly I rinse out my blood
to clean off the mark she made
I'm going back home now
to be of some help, be of some good
For a while then I could have been a goner
I could have been lost for good
Bright Lights! Drink up, it's getting
dimmer now! Bright Lights!
Getting darker now

Bright lights big city
burned my baby's eyes
And like a fool I swallowed
my baby's lies
I followed her round like a lap-dog
Et up her lies like a sap-hog
And just as I'm set to explode
she says Daddy don't leave me
Leave me, don't believe me
Don't leave me
