10,000 Maniacs - Dallas lyrics

[ Jimmie Dale Gilmore ] Chorus: Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night? Dallas is a j**el 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 d**h 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 d**h 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
