I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
I'm so tired of working everyday
Now the weekend's come I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare mister you'll do alright
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 can'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 can't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

A couple if drunken nights rolling on the floor
Is just the kind of mess I'm looking for
I'm gonna drink 'til Monday comes in sight
I want to see the brights lights tonight

Meet me at the station don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just can'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
