Alannah Myles - Love In The Big Town Lyrics

This is the place where nobody comes from
Perfect strangers in this desert town
Just out of flame, looking for favors
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
(So real)
Looks so good
(So good)

But you'd give it all up
And you'd start again
If you thought you could

And it sounds so sweet
(So sweet)
Feels so right
(So right)
But it leaves you cold
In the middle of the night

Step right up, 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
Look for a flame but you'd fall for a flicker
In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes

Seem so real
(So real)
And they look so good
(So good)
And with a bit of persuasion
You really believe you know you could

Tastes so sweet
(So sweet)
Feels so right
(So right)
But it leaves you cold
In the heart of the night

Step right up, 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, 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, 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

You want love in the big town
We need love
(We're gonna turn you on)
(We're gonna tear you down)
In the big town
(Yeah, hey)

Aha, you want love, ooh yeah, in the big town
We need love, hey, hey, yeah, in the big town
Yeah, yeah, you want love in the big town
