The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale Lyrics

A Dustland fairytale beginning
Or just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes

The Killers - Joyride Lyrics

It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra
Stranded on the heatwave burning with desire
She was on the sidewalk looking for a night light
We talked about the real things

Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain

When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought, but I was kind

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head

Console me in my darkest hour
Convince me that the truth is always grey
Caress me in your velvet chair
Conceal me from the ghost you cast away

The emotion, it was electric
And the stars, they all aligned
I knew I had to make my decision
But I never made the time

The Killers - Neon Tiger Lyrics

Far from the evergreen of old Assam
Far from the rain 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

Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
