The Pretty Things - Bright Lights of the City lyrics

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
