Barbara Dickson - Give Me One Good Reason lyrics

A million angry cars tear up the street Running like a river in the heat Shimmering in pools of dust and steam I shelter in the slot machine arcade Shutting out a pulse that I can feel Like some deceitful doll the future told me lies I can only see that now, the smoke is in my eyes CHORUS : Gimme one good reason I should stay for one more heartbeat Gimme one good reason Not to turn and walk away Gimme one good reason I should build my life in concrete Gimme one good reason And I'll give you one more day One more day Reflected in the gla** above the crowd I can hear the light rays crying out Flying through the purple city sky The circling machine that fills my head Answering the question left unsaid I step into the street to say goodbye Like some unfaithful love The promise leads me on I can see it dancing through your smoke And then it's gone CHORUS The time slips by The tears I cry And yet for all these lies I feel like I'm wasted here I can leave this city now The smoke will disappear CHORUS
