Bright Lights Songtext
von After the Fire

This is a story all about a young boy
Who comes searching for the bright lights
A young boy comes searching for the bright lights
He′s searching for those streets of gold
He never finds them

Tell him that he's just a back street gang
They say "Kid, you shouldn′t walk down here alone"
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
Oh, listen to him shout


No friends, no food, no love, no money
He runs through the stabbers to survive
He becomes an animal
See him running through the streets at night
You can almost see the jungle in his eyes

His mother and dad went for the gold all
They're never gonna see their son again
Something's changed in him
Don′t go near him, he′s a wild boy now
His mother's dying in the rain

Ooh, 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 an animal
Ooh, he's a wild boy
