I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight lyrics

I'm so tired of working every day

Now the weekend's come I'm gonna throw my troubles away

If you've got the cab fare, mister you'll do all right

I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station don't be late

I need to spend some money and it just won't wait

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight

There's crazy people running all over town

There's a silver band just marching up and down

And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight

I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station don't be late

I need to spend some money and it just won't wait

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight

A couple of drunken knights rolling on the floor

Is just the kind of mess I'm looking for

I'm gonna dream 'till Monday comes in sight

I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station don't be late

I need to spend some money and it just won't wait

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight

Take me to the dance and hold me tight

I want to see the bright lights tonight
