Spotlight

In the spotlight
life is so peachy
yeah yeah yeah yeah
wouldn't you like to retire
with a million
A million beating hearts
behind brick and cold steel piping
fighting for the top
fighting for the room to breathe
benchpark sleepers lie
cold blanket bedless babies
here this must stop
here i cannot stay
Damn you
big city
black city
rising up around me
steal my soul away
oh
big city
black city
rise and take me over
steal my soul away
But out in the world
the night it falls
falls much harder than i recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner
they say
In the spotlight
life is so peachy
yeah yeah yeah yeah
unless you're in the spotlight
for a reason
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
caught for stealing somebody's riches
no no no no
wouldn't you like to retire
with a million
bucks
yeah
Came here from a small town
seen my dreams here in the big city
sour disappointment
here i cannot stay
Damn you
big city
black city
rise and take me over
steal my soul away
oh
big city
black city
rising all around me
steal my soul away
But out in the world
the night it falls
falls much harder than i recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner
they say
In the spotlight
life is so peachy

unless you're in the spotlight
for a reason

caught for stealing somebody's riches
no no no no
wouldn't you like to retire
with a million
