Lights Of The City Songtext
I came from a small town
Looking for a big life
A life full of promise
Turned to promises broken
Won't make the headlines
Same old story
So lost and lonely
'Cause the big life is a big lie

When you're barely getting by
When you struggle just to survive
You live with a constant hunger
You feel like you're going under
Caught up inside a drama
That goes on over and over

Lights of the city, lights of the city
Will pull you in like a moth to a flame
Lights of the city ain't always pretty
When your dreams are broken
When your soul is claimed
By the lights of the city

I came with my big dreams
Dreaming of the big time
Making the big score
Out in the big world
But things didn't go right
Life just struck a left turn
Sometimes you just get burned
'Cause a big life turns to small time

When you're buying total lies
And you buy down to your last dime
Now I'm just another hustler trying to make a dollar
Trying to stay alive but it just gets harder and harder

Lights of the city, lights of the city
Pull you in like a moth to a flame
Lights of the city ain't always pretty
When your dreams are broken
When your soul is claimed
By the lights of the city

Ain't no comfort in these hungry streets
Everything's a fight, gotta fight for everything
Nothing's right
Hate when I thought I would be it

Came from a small town
Looking for a big life

Lights of the city, lights of the city
Will pull you in like a moth to a flame
Lights of the city ain't always pretty
When your dreams are broken
When your soul is claimed
Lights of the city, lights of the city
The lights, the lights, the lights
Lights of the city

Lights of the city, lights of the city
