Love In The Big Town Lyrics - Singles - Myles Alannah

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...
