i want to see the bright lights tonight
I’m so tired of working every day, Now the weekend’s come I’m gonna throw my troubles away If you’ve got the cab fare, mister you’ll do all right I want to see the bright lights tonight Meet me at the station don’t be late I need to spend some money and it just won’t wait Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight There’s crazy people running all over town There’s a silver band just marching up and down And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight I want to see the bright lights tonight Meet me at the station don’t be late I need to spend some money and it just won’t wait Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight A couple of drunken knights rolling on the floor Is just the kind of mess I’m looking for I’m gonna dream ‘till Monday comes in sight I want to see the bright lights tonight Meet me at the station don’t be late I need to spend some money and it just won’t wait Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight Take me to the dance and hold me tight I want to see the bright lights tonight
