The 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 out, tonight

There's a mystery underneath those neon lights

Before life and dream collide

Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me 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 time came for your solo

But there was nowhere to hide

Here comes the rising tide

And the company you keep

Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak

So, baby til the life and the dream collide

There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights

If you can't decipher just who's on your side

You will not escape the rising of the tide

Can you tell me brother was I deceived, or in denial?

I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified

With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips, and

lied

We're never gonna know how hard you cried

When you petitioned and your access was denied

Till the venom in your veins is satisfied

Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride

Well you can't escape

(You can't escape)

Well you can't escape

(You can't escape)

Well you can't escape the rising of the tide
