Big Bad City (Seattle version) Lyrics

I taste a little bit of freedom
The farther I get from a city full of Heathens
Where has the sky gone
Where did the stars go
Surrounded by souls and I still feel alone
Living in a fantasy
Emotion's just ecstasy
Do I fit?
Do I fit?
And why do I give a s***?
Dying for a miracle or just for better hair
All the boys see is porch lights and not me

The big city lights
And the big city ways
And the big city talk
And the big city haze
The big city gets what the big city craves
But before she locked her jaws in me, I got away
The big city blocks with the undercover cops
I can't fall asleep without dead bolt locks
The downtown, the uptown, the underground drugtown
Something to give?
No friends, just blood hounds
Smell the envy in the air
Beautiful people everywhere
Just to breath
Just to breath
Just a drink without GHB
The big city lights
And the big city ways
And the big city talk
And the big city haze
The big city gets what the big city craves
But before she locked her jaws in me, I got away

From the feeding frenzy, material envy
Invisible affliction
Lipstick addition
The big city night life cuts you like a dull knife
Time stood still while I remained unfulfilled

Unfulfilled, but now I'm healed
I got away
