Big Time in Newtown

Live for the weekend baby

You know it’s the same

I never wanted to be you honey

I only wanted the fame

 Feet fill the pavement

As they crowd in to the gig

The moon is riding high

I’m stepping like

My names up in the sky

I’m

big time in Newtown

I’m big time tonight

Big time in Newtown baby

I’m gonna get myself some trouble tonight

Not what I wanted to be

I was never allowed

She said

Fucked up and unhappy now

still alone in the crowd

I want there to be

a shining lighthouse for my soul

I want to light that lamp

So I can try

and find my way back home

I’m big time in Newtown

Bigtime tonight

I ’m bigtime in Newtown baby

I know I’m gonna find my way tonight

End of the evening baby

Long after the show

See the lovers on King st leaving

There’s only one place to go

Look in the windows at the things that people are

in this immortal moment every single one of you’s a star

You’re Big time in Newtown baby

Big time tonight

Big time in Newtown baby

You’re gonna  be a star tonight

Big time in Newtown baby

Big time tonight

Big time in Newtown baby

You’re gonna be a star tonight

I said every single light’s a star tonight
