The Killers - Neon Tiger lyrics

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 gold and glitz

Run 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 heat of the southwest sun

Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
Came from the woodwork in
The hopes they might
Redeem themselves from poor decisions
To win big

Run neon tiger there's a lot on your mind
They'll strategize and maim you
But don't you let them tame you
You're far too pure and bold
To suffer the strain of the
Hand and it's hold

I don't want to be kept
I don't want to be caged
I don't want to be damned, oh hell
I don't want to be broke
I don't want to be saved
I don't want to be SOL
Give me rolling hills and tonight
Can be the night
That I stand among the thousand thrills
Mister cut me some slack
Cause I don't want to 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 gut you
I'll never let 'em 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 southwest sun

Neon tiger there's a lot on your mind
