The Killers - Day And Age (2008) - Neon Tiger lyrics

  • 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
