Caveat Emptor — 1993 (D.O.R, ADOR 751) lyrics by Richard Gallon
Bright lights, no pity
Here the streets all look the same
Littered with promises
And a thousand broken dreams
Going nowhere, moving fast
Shiftless, nervous, ill-at-ease
Half-life smouldering, sealed in skin
CanÕt shake the torpor from these bones
Desire burning, burning bright
In the cities of the night
Desire burning, burning bright
In the cities of the night
(x2)
Living now, on borrowed hope
And without due care & attention
Reeling from a knockout punch
And every day shortens your life
Every dayÕs another milestone
Just to see how far youÕll go
Try to dream, but alarms go off
All the films youÕve never seen
Try to find the end of the rainbow
But only the sneers are paved with gold
Going out with all guns blazing
ThatÕs the way it is in this town
(x2)
