The Pitchforks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause here comes that familiar feeling that Friday′s famous for
Yeah, I'm looking for some action and it's out there somewhere
You can feel the electricity all in the evening air
And it may be just more of the same
But sometimes you wanna go where everyone knows your name
So I guess I′ll have to wait and see
And it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright
It′s alright
Bright lights and the big city belongs to us tonight
Tonight, tonight
Now Friday's cool but there's something about Saturday night
You can′t say what you won′t do 'cause you know that you just might
I′m alive this evening, it was love at first sight
This Saturday and every Saturday for the rest of my life
And everyone standing in line
Yeah, looking good and looking for a real good time
So I'll never have to wonder if
I′ll have someone to share all of this with
And it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it's alright, it′s alright
It′s alright
Bright lights and the big city, it belongs to us tonight
Tonight, tonight, alright
Guess I need it, everybody does
Cocktails and conversation, music and making love
And it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright, it′s alright, it's alright
It′s alright
Bright lights and the big city, it belongs to us tonight
Tonight
Bright lights, bright lights, bright lights and the big city, tonight
It belongs to us tonight, tonight
