The Killers - Joy Ride lyrics

rate me

<BR>

It's getting close to sundown<br>

Over the Sierra<br>

Stranded on the heat wave<br>

Burning with desire<br>

She was on the sidewalk<br>

Looking for a nightlife<br>

Talked about the real thing<br>

And drove into the fire<br>

Headlights on the highway<br>

The desert wind is howling<br>

Rattlesnakes and romance<br>

Are spilling with the rain<br>

Candy apple red dress<br>

Bleeding when she kissed me<br>

Heaven in a ragtop<br>

Takes away my pain<br>

<br>

When your chips are down<br>

When your highs are low<br>

Joy ride<br>

(Joy ride)<br>

Move across the night like a separate wind<br>

(Joy ride)<br>

<br>

Pulled up to a motel<br>

Vacancy was buzzing<br>

Pink and dirty neon<br>

Settled on the hood<br>

Wrapped her arms around me<br>

Come a little closer<br>

Stumbled in the twilight<br>

And fell onto the floor of the Mona Lisa<br>

Dreaming of the free world<br>

Lipstick on the nightstand<br>

And demons at the door<br>

<br>

When your chips are down<br>

When your highs are low<br>

Joy ride<br>

(Joy ride)<br>

Move across the night like a separate wind<br>

(Joy ride)<br>

<br>

When your hopes and dreams<br>

Lose the will to go<br>

Joy ride<br>

Reaching for the light<br>

More than we can win<br>

And something in the distance <br>

A glorious existence<br>

A simple celebration<br>

A place you never went before<br>

(Why don't you kiss me <br>

And tell me that you want it?)<br>

Reaching for the light<br>

More than we can win<br>

When your chips are down<br>

(When your chips are down)<br>

When your highs are low<br>

Joy ride<br>

(Joy ride)<br>

All your hopes and dreams<br>

All you need to know<br>

Joy ride<br>

<BR><BR>
