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 downYou 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 seaIt 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 couldAnd it sounds so sweet
(So sweet)
Feels so right
(So right)
But it leaves you cold
In the middle of the nightStep 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 townDown 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 eyesSeem so real
(So real)
And they look so good
(So good)
And with a bit of persuasion
You really believe you know you couldTastes so sweet
(So sweet)
Feels so right
(So right)
But it leaves you cold
In the heart of the nightStep 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 townOh, you learn to use all your desperation
Till it works its way into your soul
Then you find out that you slowly lose controlStep 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 townStep 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 townYou 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
