big city
american aquarium
headed back on a highway drive
comin' back from a show that we had in charlotte
it was getting kind of late and the fireworks display
it played a thief to all the stars glory
the wheels they were turning
boy my eyes they were burning
it said raleigh fifty miles
throw me down just like your doll
tell me i'm wrong when i know just what i saw
me and my friends go to the same bar every thursday
we stare at the centerfold eyes that keep mixing our drinks
the liquor lies are all that's left of this poor girl's innocence
she don't know my name but i'll be damned if one day she won't
throw me down just like your doll
tell me i'm wrong when i know just what i saw
candlelight retrospection on a hand-me-down couch
there is coffee in my hand
like a jewelry store window her eyes
they were made to sparkle
and for a moment i still believed in love
throw me down just like your doll
tell me i'm wrong when i know good-and-well what i saw
