Love In the Big Town

This is the place where nobody comes from
 Perfect strangers in this desert town
 Just out of flame and looking for favours
 Hungry players when the deals go down
 You 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 sea
 It seems so real, looks so good
 But you'd give it all up and you'd
 start again if you thought you could
 And it sounds so sweet, feels so right
 But it leaves you cold in the middle of the night
 Step right up, lay your 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 town
 Down in the street with the waiters and mystics
 When you got faith in nothing, you just fantasize
 You look for a flame but you'd fall for a flicker
 In those angel faces and those cowboy eyes
 They seem so real and they look so good
 And with a bit of persuasion you really believe you know you could
 Tastes so sweet, feels so right
 But it leaves you cold in the heart of the night
 Step right up, (lay your) 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 town
 Oh you learn to use all your desperation
 ♪
 Till it works its way into your soul
 Then you find out that you slowly lose control
 ♪
 Step right up, (lay your) 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 town
 Step right up, (lay your) 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 town
