City Sleeps – Be a Man Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is no doubt a warning to a guy that he's letting a girl he fell in love with take him over and use him. She's not a "good girl," but he is.

And so she dances in your crystal ball - You see her in your future/fantasies.
The ballerina of the baby dolls - She stands out among all other girls as the perfect one in your eyes.
Under a spell you only call her name - You talk to her for no other reason other than you need to because you love her.
Only her answer can undo your pain - Only way to stop dreaming of her is to talk to her.
Her swirlling hand is like a magic wand - Anything she asks you do.
It's gonna hurt this time the fairy dust is gone - When you find out she's just using you, her asking the next time is going to hurt.

She's a bad girl gets to cry all day - She's on the dark side (not sure about the crying part)
The darkness is the only place that you play - The only reason she pays attention to you is because she uses you.
The broken veins from all your wounds are raw - You might heal on the outside (act like things are fine), but inside you're being hurt by her.
Your not the only boy that waits for her call - You're not the only guy she uses, you're not special, and she probably doesn't love you like you love her.

She's on the dark side - she's not a "good girl"

And it will neutralize - she might not make you a "bad" guy, but you'll lose what made you good try to be with her.

The "be a man" is a warning to not allow her to take you over, and keep your standards.
