Chorus:
There they go the buccaneers
Hand and hand in leather gloves
So fast so crazy
With a creepy kind of love
Chorus 1:
Bright lights, black leather
Bright lights, black leather (black leather)
Some towns make me anxious
Others sane but sad
But West Berlin's by far the strangest time
I ever had
(chorus)
(chorus 1)
All night town of punks and art
All saying look at me
Never seen so much black leather
Even on car hoods
Surrounded by East Germany
So
(chorus)
(chorus 1)
They want to know just who you are
Or how they can amuse you (sum it up, sum it up)
Squatters freaks Mohicans
Or even a wall of voodoo
(chorus)
(chorus 1)
If I had to sum it up
Without sounding too clever
I'd have to say my life has been
A case of bright lights
Black leather
(chorus 1 - 4x)
