10/22/1991 alternate lyrics

in the places that i know
and the places i grew up well
many times that we were worried
of being back every time and we were going

in the places that i know
and the faces i have been with
hell we know its nothing better
than what we could finally
make the best of all of it

and i'll tell it all
i would not fade back every minute
miss it all out in the world
i hear the cries from every corner

to it
up get up
get out
get up say lie
yeah, yeah, yeah

crash get down
get up
get out
to lie
yeah yeah yeah

in the places that i know
and the places i've grown up
hell i don’t make any difference
of what i wanted to be with you here
in the faces i have seen
and the faces i have been with
no one seems to give enough to get me
satisfied of where i need

and lost where we go
and we would head back every minute
watch it turn while we would lie back
and the best said all why (?) man

back to you babe

in the places i have missed
in the places i grew up
hell i don’t make any problem
but decided what i need in any way
in the places i have used
in the faces i have been with
i don’t know if its indifference but i
would like to shut my world inside of me

Spotlight
main lyrics
In the spotlight
life is so peachy
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
wouldn't you like to retire
with a million?

A million beating hearts
behind brick and cold steel piping
fighting for the top
fighting for the room to breathe
bench park sleepers lie
cold blanket bedless babies
here this must stop
here I cannot stay

Oh, you big city
black city
rises up around me
steal my soul away
oh, big city
black city
rise and take me over
steal my soul away

But, oh, out in the world
the night it calls
it falls much harder than I recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner
they say

[CHORUS]
In the spotlight
life is so peachy
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
unless you're in the spotlight
for a reason
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
caught for stealing
somebody's riches
no, no, no, no
wouldn't you like to retire
with a million bucks?
yeah


Came here from a small town
see my dreams here in the big city
sour disappointment
here I cannot stay

Oh, you big city
black city
rise and take me over
steal my soul away
oh, big city
black city
rising all around me
steal my soul away

But, oh, out in the world
the night it calls
it falls much harder than I recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner
they say

[CHORUS]

Oh, you see, big city
black city
rise and take me over
steal my soul away
oh, big city
black city
rising up around me
steal my soul away

But, oh, out in the world
the night it calls
it falls much harder than I recall
out in the world
the sirens call from every corner
they say

[CHORUS]
yeah
yeah
yeah
