[Brandon Flowers - Playing With Fire lyrics]
Daddy I'm not gonna tell you that I'm sorry
Cause there ain't nothing you can
Do to change my mind
I'm not here to know the things I cannot do
We've seen the outcome of the
Boys who didn't fly
That road outside that you've
Been taking home forever
That'll be the same road that
I take when I depart
Those charcoal veins that hold
This chosen land together
May twist and turn but somewhere
Deep there is a heart
Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on the wire
You know you're playing with fire
Perhaps this calling is the
Channel of invention
I will not blush if others see it as a crime
However dangerous the road, however distant
These things won't compromise the
Will of the design
Ten thousand demons hammer down
With every footstep
Ten thousand angels rush the
Wind against my back
This church of mine may not
Be recognized by steeple
But that doesn't mean that I
Will walk without a God
Rolling River of Truth
Can you spare me a sip?
The Holy Fountain of Youth has
Been reduced to a drip
I've got this burning belief
In salvation and love
This notion may be naïve
But when push comes to shove
I will till this ground
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
(oh, oh, oh) out on the wire
And I might not get there
But this little town, this little house
They seem to be leaning
In the wrong direction
I'm not afraid of you no more
(Oh oh, oh oh,)
Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on the wire
You know you're playing with fire
(Oh oh, oh oh,)
Cause there ain't nothing you can
Do to change my mind
I'm not here to know the things I cannot do
We've seen the outcome of the
Boys who didn't fly
That road outside that you've
Been taking home forever
That'll be the same road that
I take when I depart
Those charcoal veins that hold
This chosen land together
May twist and turn but somewhere
Deep there is a heart
Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on the wire
You know you're playing with fire
Perhaps this calling is the
Channel of invention
I will not blush if others see it as a crime
However dangerous the road, however distant
These things won't compromise the
Will of the design
Ten thousand demons hammer down
With every footstep
Ten thousand angels rush the
Wind against my back
This church of mine may not
Be recognized by steeple
But that doesn't mean that I
Will walk without a God
Rolling River of Truth
Can you spare me a sip?
The Holy Fountain of Youth has
Been reduced to a drip
I've got this burning belief
In salvation and love
This notion may be naïve
But when push comes to shove
I will till this ground
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
(oh, oh, oh) out on the wire
And I might not get there
But this little town, this little house
They seem to be leaning
In the wrong direction
I'm not afraid of you no more
(Oh oh, oh oh,)
Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on the wire
You know you're playing with fire
(Oh oh, oh oh,)
