Big City - American Aquarium

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
