American Aquarium - Big City lyrics

Headed back on a highway drive
Interstate Eighty-five
Comin' back from a show that
We had in Charlotte
It was getting kind of late
And the fireworks display
It played a thief to all the stars glory
The wheels they were turning, boy
My eyes they were burning
It said Raleigh fifty miles

Big city, turn me on
Pick me up, throw me down just like your doll
Tell me I'm wrong when I know just what I saw
Big city turn me on

Me and my friends go to
The same bar every Thursday
We stare at the centerfold eyes
That keep mixing our drinks
The liquor lies are all that's left
Of this poor girl's innocence
She don't know my name but I'll be
Damned if one day she won't

Big city, turn me on
Pick me up, throw me down just like your doll
Tell me I'm wrong when I know just what I saw
Big city turn me on

Candlelight retrospection on a
Hand-me down couch
There is coffee in my hand
Her head in my lap, and Dylan on the stereo
Like a jewelry store window her eyes
They were made to sparkle
And for a moment I still believed in love

Big city, turn me on
Pick me up, throw me down just like your doll
Tell me I'm wrong when I
Know good-and-well what I saw
Big city, turn me on, boy, turn me on

I said, turn me on
I said, big city turn me on
Big city, turn me on big city, turn me on
Big city, turn me on
