Killers (The) - Rising Tide lyrics

rate me

The streets of persuasion Are plated with gold Your heart's in the right place, But you travel down the wrong road Like so many before you The gates open wide Here comes the rising tide Let's go away, tonight There's a mystery underneath those neon lights Until life and dream collide Cause the truth's gonna come and cut you open wide And you can't escape the rising of the tide Keep up your appearance, you join the choir With everybody singing out Glory Hallejuah The songs get you nowhere There's nowhere to hide Here comes the rising tide And the company you keep Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak So, baby til life and dream collide There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights You'll petition. but your access was denied And you can't escape the rising of the tide Can you tell me bro was I deceived, or in denial? I was there, on the back of the room, when you testified When you took the stand, you licked your lips, and you lied Until life and dream collide Well I gotta belive there's something on my side When the venom in your veins is satisfied You'll be running, but there ain't no where to hide You can't escape (You can't escape) You can't escape (You can't escape) You can't escape the rising of the tide
