THE PRETTY THINGS
"Bright Lights Of The City"
(Phil May / Wally Allen Waller)

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
