Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes

Shaking hands with the big top (?)
As the rain came down
I thought it would not stop
Sending letters to Paris
From the Empire State
Taking pictures from the top.

[chorus]:
There's a lot of things
For you to do...
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come true.

I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn.
If you want them to love you,
Then you must not love them, in return.

Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell...
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell.




When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you
Want to cry...
I discovered a big town   On the crest of a wave   Throwing money at strangers   Taking candy from babes      Shaking hands with the big top (?)   As the rain came down   I thought it would not stop   Sending letters to Paris   From the Empire State   Taking pictures from the top.      [chorus]:   There's a lot of things   For you to do...   There's a lot of dreams   That won't come true.      I grew up in a big town   The lessons were not hard to learn.   If you want them to love you,   Then you must not love them, in return.      Spent the night at a party   Where I drank so much   I fell under your spell...   Eight o'clock in the morning   And the daylight makes me   Look and feel like hell.               When you live in a big town   There are sights and sounds   That make you   Want to cry...
