The Killers - Neon Tiger lyrics

rate me

Far from the evergreen of old Assam

Far from the break fall on the trails of old Saigon

Straight from the poster town of scorn and Ritz

To bring you the wilder side of gold and glitz

But neon tiger there's a lot on your mind

They promised just to pet you, but don't you let them get you

Away, away, oh run

Under the heat of the southwest sun

Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring

Came from the woodwork with the hopes they might

Redeem themselves for poor decisions to win big

But neon tiger there's a lot on your mind

They strategize and name you, but don't you let them tame you

You're far too pure and bold

To suffer the strain of the pain that's old???

I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be caged

I don't wanna be damned oh hell

I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be saved

I don't wanna be S.O.L.

Give me rolling hills so tonight can be the night that I stand among a thousand thrills

Can you cut me some slack

'Cause I don't wanna go back

I want a new day and age

Come on girls and boys, everyone make some noise!

But neon tiger there's a price on your head

They strategize and cut you, but don't you let them touch you

Away, away, oh run

I'm begging you neon tiger run

Under the heat of

Under the heat of

Under the heat of the southwest sun

Neon Tiger

There's a lot on your mind
