Bright Lights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Young boy comes searching for the bright lights He's looking for those "streets of gold" He never finds them Down an alley there's a back street gang They say "Kid you shouldn't walk down here alone" [Verse 2] They really take him to the cleaners They turn his pockets inside out Then they cut him Leave him lying in a pool of blood In the city no one hears you when you shout [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] No friends, no food, no home, no money He learns to scavenge to survive He becomes an animal See him running through the streets at night You can almost see the jungle in his eyes [Verse 3] His mum and dad wait for a phone call They're never gonna see their son again Something's changed him Don't go near him he's a wild boy now -- This moth is dying in the flame [Outro] He's an animal - see him running through the streets at night He's an animal - beneath the dirt his skin turns white He's a wild boy
