10000 Maniacs Dallas Lyrics

Dallas Lyrics

[ Jimmie Dale Gilmore ] 
 
Chorus:  
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?  
Dallas is a jewel  
Yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight  
Dallas is a jungle  
But Dallas gives a beautiful light  
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?  
 
Now Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you`re down  
But when you are up she`s the kind you wanna take around  
Now Dallas ain`t a woman to help you get your feet on the ground  
And Dallas is a woman who will walk on you when you`re down  
 
Oh, I came into Dallas with the bright lights on my mind  
I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime  
 
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes  
A steel concrete soul with a warm-hearted love in disguise  
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies  
I say, Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his yes  
 
Oh, I came into Dallas with the brights lights on my mind  
I came into Dallas with a dollar and a dime  
 
Chorus
