Bright Lights Of The City - The Pretty Things

The darkening eyes you turn to me

Empties my body and sets it free

It helps my heels to leave the ground

The vantage you give won’t keep me down

Bright lights of the city they spin and they flash

And reflecting the wet shiny streets

But I receive them, they’ve gone in a second

My footprints I leave as we see

The darkening eyes you turn to me

Empties my body but it sets it free

It helps my heel to leave the ground

The vantage you give won’t keep me down

The turnings I’ve taken might throw and confuse you

There must be a point where we meet

The difference between us is not what we doing

It’s more in the things that we see

It’s been this way since I began

The inner search you don’t understand

Yeah you best gone well no surprise

With darkening eyes you stare at darkening skies

You turn your head and you’re making a statement

But hate’s not delivered with words

The sins of the father must fall on the children

And they should be seen and not heard

It’s been this way since I began

The inner search you don’t understand

It helps my heels to leave the ground

The vantage you give won’t keep me down

Yeah you best gone well I’m not surprised

With darkening eyes you stare at darkening skies
