Spotlight Lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

In the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Wouldnt you like to retire with a million? 

A million beating hearts behind brick and cold steel piping 

Fighting for the top, fighting for the room to be bench park sleepers 

Like cold blanket bedless babies 

Here this must stop, here I cannot stay 

Big city, black city rises up around me, steal my soul away 

Big city, black city rise and take me over, steal my soul away 

But out, out in the world, the night it falls 

It falls much harder than I recall 

Out in the world, the sirens calls from every corner to say 

In the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Unless youre in the spotlight for reason, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Caught for stealing somebodys riches, no, no, no, no 

Wouldnt you like to retire with a million bucks? yeah

Came here from a small town 

Seen my dreams here in the big cities 

How disappointing, here i cannot stay 

Big city, black city rise and take me over, steal my soul away 

Big city, black city rising all around me, steal my soul away 

But out, out in the world, the night it falls 

It falls much harder than I recall 

Out in the world the sirens call from every corner, they say 

In the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Unless youre in the spotlight for reason, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
