Neon Tiger - The Killers

Far from the evergreen of old Assam

Far from the breakfall 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 neon southwest sun

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

But neon tiger there’s a lot on your mind

They’ll set you down to pet you, but don’t you let them touch you

You’re far too pure and bold

To suffer the strain of the hand as holed.

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 send them up 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!

Run neon tiger there’s a price on your head

They’ll hunt you down and cut you, I’ll never let them touch you

Away, away, oh, run

Under the neon tiger roar

Oh I’m gonna need a neon tiger roar

Under the heat of Under the heat of Under the heat of southwest sun
