triffids - bright lights big city lyrics
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 afterwards 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
