I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babesShaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stopSending letters to Paris
From the Empire state
Taking pictures from the topThere's a lot of things
For you to do
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come trueI grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in returnSpent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spellEight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hellThere's a lot of things
For you to do
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come trueThere's a lot of things
For you to do
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come trueWhen you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you wanna cryWhen you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you wanna cryWhen you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you wanna cryWhen you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
Make you wanna cry
