The bright lights of the big city
They taught us how to think, they taught us how to steal
Come on and steal me, steal me
You took your razor tongue to my loving eyes
You said "A time to live, now's the time to die"
Come on now die with me, die with me

Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're living a lie and so am I
You know I'd have a breakdown but I don't have the time

I get up straight, I take my pill, I swallow it whole, I don't feel ill
It ain't a crime to live, it ain't a crime to die
It ain't a crime to walk in this big, big sky
Come on now walk with me, walk with me

Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're living a lie and so am I
I know you'd have a breakdown but you don't have the time
And you're all messed up waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it, I haven't got the time

Ahh-ahh, take a ride with me
(It ain't no crime to walk, it ain't no crime to fly
It ain't no crime to die, it ain't no crime to take a walk in the big sky)
The bright lights of the big city, they taught us how to think
They taught us how to see can you
(Twenty, twenty-first century breakdown)
Can't you see there must be more for me
You know you're living a lie and so am I
I know you'd have a breakdown but you don't have the time
And you're all messed up waiting for a sign
You want me to paint it, I haven't got the time
And it's making me crazy, I don't know where I fit
I guess in the end, we're all sick

Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me, come on now ride with me
Come on now ride with me, just take a ride with me
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty-first
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty sound
(The bright lights of the big city)
Twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty vision
