Neon Tiger Lyrics

The Killers
19 August 2008
Verse 1:
Far from the evergreen of old Assam
Far from the rainfall on the trails of old Saigon
Straight from the poster town of scorn and Ritz
To bring you the wilder side of golden glitz
Chorus 1:
But Neon Tiger, there's a lot on your mind
They promised just to pet you, but don't you let 'em get you
Away, away, away
Under the heat of the south-west sun
Verse 2:
Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
Came from the woodwork and the hopes they might
redeem themselves from poor decisions to win big
Chorus 2:
But Neon Tiger, there's a lot on your mind
They'll set you down and get you, but don't you let 'em touch you
You're far too pure and bold
to suffer the strain of the hand that's cold
Verse 3 (Bridge):
N.C. (B)
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 SOL
Give me rolling hills so tonight can be the night that I send them up a thousand thrills
Can you cut me some slack, 'cos I don't wanna go back, I want the new day and age
Come on girls and boys, everyone make some noise!
Chorus 3:
Run, Neon Tiger, there's a price on your head.
They'll put you down and cut you, I'll never let 'em touch you.
Away, away, away
Under the Neon Tiger roar,
Under the heat of
Under the heat of
Under the heat of the south-west sun
Outro:
N.C. (B)
Neon Tiger
There's a lot on your mind
