The Killers - Sawdust (2007) - Tranquilize lyrics

  • Time it tells living in my home town,
    Wedding bells they begin easy
    Live it down, baby don’t talk that much,
    Baby knows, but baby don’t tease me.
    In the park we could go walking,
    Drown in the dark or we could go sailing
    On the sea

    Always here, always on time
    Close call, was it love or was it just easy
    Money talks when people need shoes and socks,
    Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me

    I was just sipping on something sweet
    I don’t need political process

    I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
    I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
    See I was thinking that I lost my mind
    But it’s been getting to me all this time
    And it don’t stop dragging me down

    Silently reflection turns my world to stone
    Patiently correction leaves us all alone
    And sometimes I’m a travel man
    But tonight this engine's failing

    I still hear the children playing

    Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack
    Steal a car and ring a round-rosey,
    Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman,
    Run away and give me your sneakers

    Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain
    We began the weeping and wailing
    A hurried high from pestilence, pills and pride,
    It’s a shame, we could of gone sailing
    But heaven knows,
    Heaven knows everything
    Tranquilize

    I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
    I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
    See I was thinking that I lost my mind
    But it’s been getting to me all this time
    And it don’t stop dragging me down

    Silently reflection turns my world to stone
    Patiently correction leaves us all alone
    And sometimes I’m travel man
    But tonight this engine's failing

    I still hear the children playing
    Dead beat dancers come to us and stay

    Cause i don’t care where you've been
    And I don’t care what you've seen
    We’re the ones who still believe
    And we’re looking for a page
    In that lifeless book of hope
    Where a dream might help you cope
    With the Bushes and the bombs
    a-re, Tranquilized
