In the spotlight life is so peachy 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
bench parks sleepers lie
cold blanket bedless babies
here this must stop
here I cannot stay
damn you big city, black city
rise and take me over, steal my soul away
oh big city, black city
rise and take me over, steal my soul away
but all out in the world
the night it crawls it 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
all of us are in the spotlight for a reason, 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
see 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
rise and up around me, steal my soul away
but all out in this world
the night it crawls it falls much harder than I recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner to say
in the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
all of us in the spotlight for a reason, 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
damn you big city, black city
rise and take me over, steal my soul away
oh big city, black city
rise and up around me, steal my soul away
but all out in this world
the night it crawls it falls much harder than I recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner to say
in the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
all of us in the spotlight for a reason, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
caught for stealing somebody's riches, no, no, no, no
