Neon Tiger Lyrics - Day & Age - The Killers

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 'em get you 

Away, away, oh run 

Under the heat of the southwest sun 

You took to the spotlight like a diamond ring 

They came from the woodwork in the hopes they might 

Redeem themselves for poor decisions; to win big

Run, neon tiger there's a lot on your mind 

They'll strategize and name you, but don't you let 'em tame you 

You're far too pure and bold 

To suffer the strain of the hangman's hold 

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 could be the night that I stand among a thousand thrills 

Mister 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 gut you, I'll never let 'em touch you 

Away, away, oh run 

I'm begging you neon tiger, run
