The Kinks - Bright Lights Lyrics

Time's running out just as fast as it can
She's leaving me cold, I don't understand
Hearts beating hard on the edge of the floor
Gotta kill this pain, 'cause I can't take no more

Bright lights on a cold night
If it feels good, then it's alright

Thinking about when we first met
All those memories kill me get them out of my head
The flashing lights of the cities roar
Make my mind a blur who's that knocking on the door?
Nothing's for keeps can't get no sleep
My future is late, guess I'll find it next week

Bright lights on a cold night
If it feels good then it's alright
She's caught up in the spotlight

See her up there in a New York fashion show
See the freedom in her eyes
Could've chose a better time for it all to go wrong

Another night and my life is my own
But it scares me half to death
l turn on the TV, I see her favorite shows
Oh, I can't get her out of my head
Out in the bars, in the village with friends
You can buy me a drink but please don't mention her name

Bright lights on a cold night
If it feels good then it's alright
And she's up there in the spotlight
Now it's over and it's goodnight

Bright lights, bright lights, bright lights

See her up there in a New York fashion show
See the freedom in her eyes
Could've chose a better time for it all to go wrong

Bright lights on a cold night
If it feels good then it's alright

Bright lights, bright lights

Bright lights on a cold night
If it feels good then it's alright
And she's up there in the spotlight
And now it's over and it's goodnight

Bright lights, bright lights, bright lights, bright lights
