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
