Bright Lights Big City Lyrics - The Triffids

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
