Somebody Told Me That I could leave this star-crossed world

The Killers behind

Breaking my back just to know your name But when they cut me open
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game I guess that changed my mind
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this And you know I might
Anything goes, but don't blink, you might miss Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'Cause they're calling me by my name
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, heaven ain't close in a place like this And the zipping white light beams
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight Disregarding bombs and satellites
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my And that was the turning point,
moonlight That was one lonely night

Well, somebody told me The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"
You had a boyfriend The dream maker's gonna make you mad
Who looked like a girlfriend The spaceman says, "everybody look down"
That I had in February of last year It's all in your mind
It's not confidential
I've got potential Well, now I'm back at home and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
Ready? Let's roll on to something new You know it's gonna haunt me
Taking it's toll and I'm leaving without you So hesitation to this life I give
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, heaven ain't close in a place like this You think you might cross over
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight You're caught between the devil and the deep
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my blue sea
moonlight You better look it over
Before you make that leap
Well, somebody told me
You had a boyfriend And you know I'm fine
Who looked like a girlfriend But I hear those voices at night
That I had in February of last year Sometimes that justify my claim
It's not confidential
I've got potential And the public don't dwell on my transmission
Cause it wasn't televised
A rushing, a rushing around But it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night
Pace yourself for me
I said maybe, baby, please The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"
But I just don't know now (babe, babe) The dream maker's gonna make you mad
When all I wanna do is try The spaceman says, "everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
But somebody told me
You had a boyfriend The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"
Who looked like a girlfriend The dream maker's gonna make you mad
That I had in February of last year The spaceman says, "everybody look down"
It's not confidential It's all in your mind
I've got potential
My global position systems are vocally
A rushing, a rushing around addressed
They say the nile used to run from east to west
Spaceman They say the nile used to run from east to west
The Killers
It started with a low light I'm fine
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed But I hear those voices at night
And then they took my blood type Sometimes
It left a strange impression in my head
The star maker says, "it ain't so bad"
You know that I was hoping The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "everybody look down"
It's all in your mind Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
The star maker says, "it ain't so bad" Give me a shot at the night
The dream maker's gonna make you mad Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
The spaceman says, "everybody look down"
It's all in your mind Once in a lifetime, we're breaking all the rules
To find that our home has long
The Way It Was Been out grown
The Killers Throw me a life line, 'cause, honey
I drove through the desert last night I got nothing to lose
I carried the weight of our last fight Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime)
Elvis singing Don’t Be Cruel and I wonder Once in a lifetime
If you feel it too it's like we're going under
Give me a shot at the night
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
County line Give me a shot at the night
The question of my heart came to my mind Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
If I go on with you (by my side)
Can it be the way it was when we met? Look at my reflection in the mirror
Did you forget all about those golden nights? Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Maybe a thief stole your heart Give me a shot at the night
Or maybe we just drifted apart, I remember Give me a shot at the night
driving I feel like I'm losing the fight
In my daddy's car to the airfield
Blanket on the hood, backs against the Give me a shot at the night
windshield Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Back then, this thing was running on
momentum, love and trust Give me a shot at the night
That paradise is buried in the dust Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
If I go on with you (by my side) Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Can it be the way it was when we met? Give me a shot at the night
Did you forget all about those golden nights? Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the nightRun For Cover
(The way it was, it was)
The Killers
All of our plans have fallen through Run for cover
Sometimes a dream it don't come true What have you gathered to report to your
progenitors?
Darling, darling (if we go on, can it be?) Are your excuses any better than your senator's?
Can it be the way it was when we met? He held a conference and his wife was standing
Did you forget all about them golden nights? by his side
He did her dirty but no one died
If I go on with you (by my side)
Can it be the way it was? My heart is true I saw Sonny Liston on the street last night
Girl, it's just you I'm thinking of Black-fisted and strong singing Redemption
Can it be the way it was? Song
He motioned me to the sky
(Maybe a thief stole your heart) I heard heaven and thunder cry

Shot At The Night Run for cover

The Killers Run while you can, baby, don't look back
Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools You gotta run for cover
To find our way home, to break in these bones Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out
Once in a lifetime (once in a lifetime) trap, man
Once in a lifetime You know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
What are you waiting for, a kiss or an apology? I swore I'd never let her go
You think by now you'd have an A in
toxicology Tell me what you wanna know
It's hard to pack the car when all you do is Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
shame us And then you whisper in my ear
It's even harder when the dirtbag's famous I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
I saw my mother on the street last night There ain't no motive for this crime
All pretty and strong, singing: the road is long Jenny was a friend of mine
I said: Momma I know you've tried Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
But she fell on her knees and cried
Smile Like You Mean It
Run for cover The Killers
Run while you can, baby, don't look back Save some face
You gotta run for cover You know you've only got one
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out Change your ways
trap, man While you're young
I know you're not the only one
And don't look back, just run for cover Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
And there was nothing she wouldn't give
Just to trust him with her nightmares, with her Smile like you mean it
dreams Smile like you mean it
She's running, she's running
Just to trust him Looking back
He got a big smile, he's fake news At sunsets on the East side
Just run for cover, you've got nothing left to lose We lost track
Of the time
Run for cover
Run while you can, baby, don't look back Dreams aren't what they used to be
You gotta run for cover Some things sat by so carelessly
Don't be afraid of the fear, that's a played out
trap, man Smile like you mean it
You know you're not the only one Smile like you mean it
And don't look back, just run for cover
Run And someone is calling my name
Run From the back of the restaurant
Run for cover And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
Jenny Was a Friend Of Mine And someone will drive her around
The Killers Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain Smile like you mean it
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere Smile like you mean it
to go Smile like you mean it
She couldn't scream while I held her close Smile like you mean it
I swore I'd never let her go
For Reasons Unknown
Tell me what you wanna know The Killers
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on I pack my case, I check my face
There ain't no motive for this crime I look a little bit older
Jenny was a friend of mine I look a little bit colder
So come on, oh come on, oh come on With one deep breath, one big step
I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's closer
time For reasons unknown...
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I caught my stride, I flew and flied
I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish
mind heart
Well my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way So you took your place but the fall from grace
it used to was the hardest part
And my eyes, they don't see you no more It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the back
way they used to You run for cover but you can't escape the
And my eyes don't recognize you no more second attack
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she
For reasons unknown painted it black
For reasons unknown You should have seen your little face, burnin'
for love
There was an open chair Holdin on' for your life
We sat down in, the open chair
All that I wanted was a little touch,
I said if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for
mind much, no
But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way Talk about being at the wrong place at the
it used to wrong time
And my eyes, they don't see you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the Miss Atomic Bomb
way they used to Making out we've got the radio on
And my eyes don't recognize you at all You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown Racing shadows under moonlight
We're taking chances on a hot night
I said my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the And for a second there we'd won
way it used to Yeah we were innocent and young
And my eyes, don't recognize you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are
way they used to clear
And my eyes don't recognize you no more But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear
Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here
For reasons unknown Sweat on my skin
And this love that I've cradled
Miss Atomic Bomb Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb)
The Killers But I'm standing here and you 're too late
You were standing with your girlfriends in the Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate
street
Falling back on forever, I wonder what you It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your
came to be back (It's so cruel)
I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes You run for cover but you can't escape the
I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' second attack (and you turn your back, you're
lies so)
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she
When I look back on those neon lights painted it black (on a losing game)
The leather seats, the passage rite You should have seen your little face, burning
I feel the heat, I see the light for love,
(Miss Atomic Bomb)
Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out, we've got the radio on Holdin' on for your life
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone little touch)
When you want it all (A little tenderness and
Racing shadows under moonlight truth, I didn't ask for much)
Through the desert on a hot night There's another side (Talk about being at the
And for a second there we'd won wrong place at the wrong time)
Yeah, we were innocent and young
Human Or are we dancer?
The Killers
I did my best to notice A Dustland Fairytale
When the call came down the line The Killers
Up to the platform of surrender A Dustland Fairytale beginning
I was brought but i was kind Just another white trash county kiss
And sometimes i get nervous In '61, long brown hair, foolish eyes
When i see an open door
Close your eyes He looks just like you'd want him to
Clear your heart Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
A blue jean serenade, and moon river, what you
Cut the cord do to me
Are we human? I don't believe you
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital Saw Cinderella in a party dress
My hands are cold But she was looking for a nightgown
And I'm on my knees I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
Looking for the answer He's getting ready for the showdown
Are we human? I saw the minute that I turned away
Or are we dancer? I got my money on a pawn tonight

Pay my respects to grace and virtue Change came in disguise of revelation, set his
Send my condolences to good soul on fire
Give my regards to soul and romance She says she always knew he'd come around
They always did the best they could And the decades disappear like sinking ships
And so long to devotion But we persevere, God gives us hope
You taught me everything i know But we still fear what we don't know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well The mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
You got to let me go Drawbridges closing
Are we human?
Or are we dancer? Saw Cinderella in a party dress
My sign is vital But she was looking for a nightgown
My hands are cold I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
And I'm on my knees He's getting ready for the showdown
Looking for the answer I saw the ending when they turned the page
Are we human? I took my money and I ran away
Or are we dancer? Straight to the valley of the great divide

Will your system be alright Out where the dreams are high
When you dream of home tonight? Out here, the wind don't blow
There is no message we're receiving Out here, the good girls die
Let me know is your heart still beating And the sky won't snow
Out here, the birds don't sing
Are we human? Out here, the fields don't grow
Or are we dancer? Out here, the bell don't ring
My sign is vital Out here, the bell don't ring
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees Out here, the good girls die
Looking for the answer
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep
You've got to let me know It's such a bitter form of refuge
Are we human? Oh don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
Or are we dancer? And everybody needs you?
My sign is vital Is there still magic in the midnight sun
My hands are cold Or did you leave it back in 61?
And I'm on my knees In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Looking for the answer Out where the dreams all hide
Are we human
Runaways I knew it when I met you
The Killers I'm not gonna let you runaway
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand I knew it when I held you
I've been on her trail for a little while I wasn't letting go
But that was the night that she broke down and Ain't we all just runaways?
held my hand
Read My Mind
The teenage rush, she said: The Killers
Ain't we all just runaways? We got time On the corner of main street
But that ain't much Just tryin' to keep it in line
We can't wait 'till tomorrow You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind
You gotta know that this is real, baby
Why you wanna fight it? Can you read my mind?
It's the one thing you can't choose Can you read my mind?

We got engaged on a Friday night I never really gave up on

I swore on the head of our unborn child Breakin' out of this two-star town
That I could take care of the three of us I got the green light
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights I got a little fight
get wild I'm gonna turn this thing around
It's in my blood
She said she might just runaway to somewhere Can you read my mind?
else, some place good Can you read my mind?
We can't wait 'till tomorrow
The good old days, the honest man
You gotta know that this is real, baby The restless heart, the Promised Land
Why you wanna fight it? A subtle kiss that no one sees
It's the one thing you can't choose A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Let's take a chance, baby, we can't lose Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind
Ain't we all just runaways? 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
I knew it when I met you
I'm not gonna let you runaway It's funny how you just break down
Waiting on some sign
I knew it when I held you I pull up to the front of your driveway
I wasn't letting go With magic soaking my spine

We used to look at the stars and confess our Can you read my mind?
dreams Can you read my mind?
Hold each other 'till the morning light
We used to laugh now we only fight The teenage queen, the loaded gun
Baby, are you lonesome now? The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, the world unseen
At night I come home after they go to sleep A city wall and a trampoline
Like a stumbling ghost, i haunt this house
There's a picture of us on our wedding day Oh, well, I don't mind if you don't mind
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in this walls 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
We can't wait 'till tomorrow Tell me what you find
When you read my mind
Now we're caught up in the appeal
Baby, why you wanna hide it? Slipping in my faith until I fall
It's the last thing on my mind You never returned that call
I turn the engine over and my body just comes Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
alive I wanna breathe that fire again

Ain't we all just runaways She said I don't mind if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Oh don't you put me on the back burner
Put your back on me You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
Put your back on me You're gonna bring yourself down
Put your back on me
Over and in, last call for sin
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds, cut While everyone's lost, the battle is won
out of the sun With all these things that I've done
Can you read my mind
All these things that I've done
All These Things That I've Done (Time, truth, and hearts)
The Killers If you can hold on
When there's nowhere else to run If you can hold on
Is there room for one more son?
One more son The Calling
If you can hold on The Killers
If you can hold on, hold on And it came to pass
As Jesus sat at meat in the house
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go Behold, many publicans and sinners came
You know, you know, no you don't, you don't And sat down with him and his disciples
I wanna shine on, in the hearts of men And when the Pharisees saw this
I want a meaning from the back of my broken They said unto his disciples
hand Why eateth your Master
With publicans and senators?
Another head aches, another heart breaks But when Jesus heard that
I'm so much older than I can take He said unto them
And my affection, well it comes and goes They that be whole need not a physician
I need direction to perfection, no no no no But they that are sick

Help me out, yeah I walked into town

You know you gotta help me out, yeah With a message for my old man
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner I've got the last two chapters of Matthew
You know you gotta help me out, yeah In my hand
Steve painting houses while Bobby went
And when there's nowhere else to run And gone insane
Is there room for one more son? They buried my sister
These changes ain't changing me But daddy he stayed the same
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Follow the sun out of the night
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah Brother, just lean into the light
Oh don't you put me on the back burner You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
You know you gotta help me out, yeah Brother, just lean into the light
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah His hands still shake
You're gonna bring yourself down When the ponies break out on the track
(Here comes the calling)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier His feet still quick
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier When they say they want their money back
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (Here comes the calling)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier But Daddy did you think
That you could outrun the Holy Ghost?
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (Here comes the calling)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier Lie, cheat, steal
(Time, truth, and hearts) Hope they fix it all up in post

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah The book will be open
Oh don't you put me on the back burner In front of the judge
You know you gotta help me out, yeah Unquenchable fire
Or keys to the kingdom
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah Follow the sun out of the night
Brother, just lean into the light Watch it now, here he comes
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight
Brother, just lean into the light He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright But he talks like a gentleman
Brother, just lean into the light Like you imagined when you were young
(Talks like a gentleman)
You heard that the master was traveling through (Like you imagined when)
But what would you do if he walked in the When you were young
room?
Make for the left, or break for the right? I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
Brother, just lean in He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
Brother, just lean into the light But more than you'll ever know

Follow the sun out of the night Mr. Brightside

Brother, just lean into the light The Killers
You wanna be sure, I’ll give you sight Coming out of my cage
Brother, just lean into the light And I've been doing just fine
The road to the kingdom's burnin' bright Gotta, gotta be down
Brother, just lean into the light Because I want it all
Follow the sun out of the night It started out with a kiss
Brother, just lean into the light How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
Here comes the calling It was only a kiss
Here comes the calling
Now I'm falling asleep
When You Were Young And she's calling a cab
The Killers While he's having a smoke
You sit there in your heartache And she's taking a drag
Waiting on some beautiful boy to Now they're going to bed
To save you from your old ways And my stomach is sick
You play forgiveness And it's all in my head, but
Watch it now, here he comes
She's touching his chest now
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus He takes off her dress, now, let me go
But he talks like a gentleman And I just can't look, it's killing me
Like you imagined when you were young And taking control

Can we climb this mountain? I don't know Jealousy

Higher now than ever before Turning saints into the sea
I know we can make it if we take it slow Swimming through sick lullabies
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
We're burning down the highway skyline Destiny is calling me
On the back of a hurricane that started turning Open up my eager eyes
When you were young 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
When you were young
I'm coming out of my cage
And sometimes you close your eyes And I've been doing just fine
And see the place where you used to live Gotta, gotta be down
When you were young Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
They say the Devils water it ain't so sweet How did it end up like this?
You don't have to drink right now (It was only a kiss)
But you can dip your feet It was only a kiss
Every once in a little while
Now I'm falling asleep
You sit there in your heartache And she's calling a cab
Waiting on some beautiful boy to While he's having a smoke
To save you from your old ways And she's taking a drag
You play forgiveness Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick You say it's hard enough to live
And it's all in my head, but And I'll tell you when it's over, shut up
For a Tiber more than this
She's touching his chest now How do you know that you're right?
He takes off her dress, now, let me go If you're not nervous anymore
'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me It's not so bad
And taking control It's not so bad

Jealousy Higher and higher, we're gonna take it

Turning saints into the sea Down to the wire, we're gonna make it
Swimming through sick lullabies Out of the fire
Choking on your alibis Higher and higher
But it's just the price I pay Higher and higher, we're gonna take it
Destiny is calling me Down to the wire, we're gonna make it
Open up my eager eyes Out of the fire
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside Higher and higher
Higher and higher, we're gonna take it
I never, I never I never, I never Down to the wire, we're gonna make it out
Whoa, whoa-oh
Bling (Confession Of a King) Higher and higher
The Killers
When I offer you survival It ain't hard to hold
You say it's hard enough to live When it shines like gold
It's not so bad, it's not so bad You'll remember me
How do you know that you're right?
This River Is Wild
I awoke on the roadside The Killers
In the land of the free ride Leaves are falling down on the beautiful ground
I can't pull it any longer I heard a story from a man in red
The sun is beating down my neck He said the leaves are falling down
So I ran with the devil such a beautiful sound
Left a trail of excuses son I think you'd better go ahead
Like a stone on the water
The elements decide my fate But you always hold your head up high
cause it's a long, long, long way down
Watch it go This town was meant for passing through
(Bling) boy it ain't nothin' new
now go and show 'em that the world stayed
When I offer you survival round
You say it's hard enough to live But it's a long, long, long way down
Don't tell me that it's over, stand up
For a Tiber more than this You better run for the hills before they burn
How do you know that you're right? listen to the sound of the world
If you're not nervous anymore don't watch it turn
It's not so bad I just want to show you what I know and catch
It's not so bad you when the current lets you go

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus Or should I just get along with myself?
But I'm pushing on for that horizon I never did get along with everybody else
I'm pushing on I've been trying hard to do what's right
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face But you know I could stay here all night and
So you sling rocks at the rip tide watch the clouds fall from the sky
Am I wrong or am I right? Well this river is wild
I hit the bottom with a "huh", quite strange This river is wild
I get my glory in the desert rain
Run for the hills before they burn
Watch it go (when I offer you survival) Listen to the sound of the world
(Bling) don't watch it turn
But shake a little
When I offer you survival
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk, shake a No one behind you
little Watching your shadows
Sometimes I hate the line I walk This feeling won't go
I just want to show you what I know and catch
you when the current lets you go Crooked wheels keep tuning
Children, are you learning?
Or should I just get along with myself? Climatize, but don't you lose the plot
I never did get along with everybody else A history of blisters
I've been trying hard to do what's right Your brothers and your sisters
But you know I could stay here all night Somewhere in the pages we forgot
and watch the clouds fall from the sky
Because this river is wild Take a number Jackie
God speed you boy - this river is wild Where the blood just barely dried
You know I'm on your side
Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his
mom because that bitch keeps trying to make Wait for something better
him pray No one behind you
He's with the hippy in the park combing over Watching your shadows
the dark just trying to get some of the little girl You gotta be stronger than the story
play Don't let it blind you
Rivers of shadow
You better run for the hills before they burn, This feeling wont go
listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it
turn And the sky is full of dreams
I just want to show you what I know and catch But you don't know how to fly
you when the current lets you go I don't have a simple answer
But I know that I could answer
Or should I get along with myself? Something better
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right This feeling won't go
But you know I could stay here all night
and watch the clouds fall from the sky Wait for it (x4)
and pay this hell in me tonight
because this river is wild
God speed you boy this river is wild
This river is wild
God speed you boy this river is wild

Now the cars are everywhere

lacing dust at the fairgrounds

I don't think I've ever seen so many headlights

But there's something pulling me
The circus and their crew,
well they're just passing through
just making sure that merry still goes 'round
But it's a long, long, long way down

Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll
kill your prayers
Take a number where the blood just barely dried

Wait for something better
