bright lights.

she got out of town on the railway,
new york bound
took all except my name
another alien on broadway.

well, some things in this world
you just can't change
some things you can't see
until it gets too late.

when all your love is gone
who will save me
from all i'm up against
out in this world?

and maybe
you'll find something
that's enough to keep you.
but if the bright lights don't receive you,
you should turn yourself around
and come on home.

i've got a hole in me now.
i've got a scar i can talk about.
she keeps a picture of me
in her apartment in the city

but some things in this world
man, they don't make sense

some things you don't leave
until they leave you
and then the things that you miss,
you say

let that city take you in.
let that city spit you out.
let that city take you down.
turn around.

when all your love is gone
who will save me
from all i'm up against
out in this world?

and maybe
you'll find something
that's enough to keep you.
but if the bright lights don't receive you,
you should turn yourself around
and come on home.

yeah, come on home.
