Love In The Big Town Lyrics - Rockinghorse - Alannah Myles

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 

(Were gonna turn you on) 

(Were 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
