City Lights Lyrics by Marta Palombo

Revisions - EP

2016

She’s running ‘round inside a little glass bubble
Wishing to shatter it out
She’s pounding walls around this little town rubble
Wishing to fly away
She’s breaking hearts of all the little town lovers
Wanting a grander reward
She’s reaching outward as her little life hovers
Making the great escape
So get used to seeing her name in city lights oh honey, oh honey
You may be beautiful but you’re not the one she wanted, oh wanted
Just another ambitious, pretty girl
Who wanted nothing more than the whole world
She left you behind, baby love may be blind
But it doesn’t come too cheap
You were never worth the city lights to keep
She’s fading out among the big time wonders
Last chance to make her someone
Parading round with all the big name brothers
She’s got them under her thumb
She’s always dancing at the big town parties
She’s got the crowd at her feet
She’s always waiting for the big shot bad boys
To come sweep her off her feet
So get used to seeing her name in city lights oh honey, oh honey
You may be beautiful but you’re not the one she wanted, oh wanted
Just another ambitious, pretty girl
Who wanted nothing more than the whole world
She left you behind, baby love may be blind
But it doesn’t come too cheap
You were never worth the city lights to keep
And now all the lights are going down
The cigarettes are gone but she’s still hanging around
The smoke is going thin and all the mirrors turn around
She’s just a little girl with nothing left to hold her down
Get used to seeing her name in lights
She’ll give it all up to go that high (x2)
Get used to seeing her name in lights
She came a long way to shine so bright (x2)
Get used to seeing her name in lights
No giving up till she flies tonight (x2)
