The Killers

No more trouble
In this town
Silent night for a change
Brand new year
Coming up ahead
You know its been so long
Since I rang one in
I close my eyes
Think about the path I took
Just when I think these times
Have gotten the best of me
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose
and above each chin
Stomp my boots before
I go back in
I wasted my wishes
On Saturday nights
Boy what I would give
For just one more
I soften my heart
Shocked the world
Do you hear my voice
Do you know my name
Light my way
Lift my head
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose
and above each chin
Family all together
Presents piled high
Frost on all the windows
What a wonderful night
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose
and above each chin
So happy they found me
Love was all around me
Stomp my boots before I go back in

Brandon:
Oh Santa,
I've been waiting on you.

Santa:
That's funny kid,
Because I've been coming for you.

Brandon:
Oh Santa,
I've been killing just for fun.

Santa:
Well the party's over kid,
Because I...
Because I got a bullet in my gun!

Brandon:
A bullet in your what?!?!

(Santa's got a bullet in his gun, (You know it), Santa's got a bullet in his gun)

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy, I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy

Oh Santa
It's been a real hard year

(Year)

Santa:
There just ain't no getting around this
Life is hard
But look at me, I turned out alright

Brandon
Hey Santa
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out

Santa
Believe me this ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids
You know that.. hell
I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain

(In the sweet Mojave rain, the boy was on his own)

Brandon
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy,
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy

They had it coming
So why can't you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down
And Christmas is near
Just look the other way
And I'll disappear forever

(Woah!)

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy

Believe me, Santa
(Santa)

A dustland fairytale beginning
Just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes

He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade and moon river, what'd you do to me?
I don't believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pawn tonight

A change came in disguise
A revelation set his soul on fire
She says she always knew he'd come around

And the decades disappear like sinking ships
But we persevere, God gives us hope
But we still fear what we don't know
Your mind is poisoned

Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
A drawbridge is closin'

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide

Out where the dreams all hide
Out where the wind don't blow
Out here, the good girls die
And the sky won't snow

Out here, the bird don't sing
Out here, the field don't grow
Out here, the bell don't ring
Out here, the bell don't ring

Out here, the good girls die

Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Oh, don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you?

Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in '61?
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide

A dustland fairytale beginning
Just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes

He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade and moon river, what'd you do to me?
I don't believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pawn tonight

A change came in disguise
A revelation set his soul on fire
She says she always knew he'd come around

And the decades disappear like sinking ships
But we persevere, God gives us hope
But we still fear what we don't know

It's such a bitter form of refuge
Oh, don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you?

Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in '61?
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son, one more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know you know, no you don't you don't
I wanna shine on, in the hearts of man
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older, than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes, ain't changin' me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

(I got soul, but) I got soul, but I'm not a soldier (I'm not a soldier)
I got soul, but (I got soul, but) I'm not a soldier (I'm not a soldier)
I got soul, but (I got soul, but) I'm not a soldier (I'm not a soldier)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
(Time, Truth, and Hearts)

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done

All these things that I've done
(Time, Truth, and Hearts)

If you can hold on
If you can hold on

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son, one more son

If you can hold on
If you can hold on

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside
In the land of the free ride
And I can't pull it any longer
The sun is beating down my neck

So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses
Like a stone on the water
The elements decide my fate
Watch it go
(Bling)

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
Don't tell me that it's over
Stand up, poor and tired but more than this

How do you know that you're right
If you're not nervous anymore?
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus
But I'm pushing on for that horizon
I'm pushing on
Now I've got that blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the riptide
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a huh
Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain
Watch it go
(I offer you survival!)

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
And I'll tell you when it's over
Shut up poor and tired but more than this

How do you know that you're right
If you're not nervous anymore?
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of the fire
Higher and higher

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of the fire
Higher and higher

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it out
Whoa, higher and higher

It ain't hard to hold
When it shines like gold
You'll remember me

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

(Come with me)

We took a back road, we're gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean, it's only water and sand
And in the ocean, we'll hold hands
But I don't really like you
Apologetically dressed in the best
Put on a heartbeat glide
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural

This cinematic vision ensues
Like the holiest dream
There's someone calling, an angel whispers my name
But the message relayed is the same

(Wait 'til tomorrow you'll be fine)
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind
Always hear them when the dead of night
Comes calling to save me from this fight
But they can never wrong this right

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

(Never had a lover)
I never had a lover
(Never had soul)
I never had soul
(Never had a good time)
And I never had a good time
(Never got bold)
I never got bold

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

Don't you wanna come with me?
Don't you wanna feel my bones
On your bones?
It's only natural
Come and take a swim with me
Don't you wanna feel my skin
On your skin?
It's only natural

We hope you enjoy your stay
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day

We hope you enjoy your stay
Outside the sun is shining
It seems like heaven ain't far away
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day

Aggressively we all defend the role we play
Regrettably time’s come to send you on your way
We’ve seen it all bonfires of trust flash floods of pain
It doesn’t really matter don’t you worry it’ll all work out
No it doesn’t even matter don’t you worry what it’s all about
We hope you enjoyed your stay
It’s good to have you with us, even if it’s just for the day
We hope you enjoyed your stay
Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away
It’s good to have you with us
Even if it’s just for the day
It’s good to have you with us even if it’s just for the day
Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away
It’s good to have you with us
Even if it’s just for the day
It’s good to have you with us even if it’s just for the day
Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away

I pack my case
I check my face
I look a little bit older
I look a little bit colder

With one deep breath
And one big step
I move a little bit closer
I move a little bit closer

For reasons unknown

I caught my stride
I flew and flied
I know if destiny's kind
I've got the rest of my mind

But my heart, it don't beat
It don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes, they don't see you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss
They don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

There was an open chair
We sat down in
The open chair
I said, if destiny's kind
I've got the rest of my mind

But my heart, it don't beat
It don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes, they don't see you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss
They don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you, at all

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

See, my heart, it don't beat
It don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss
They don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind

And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could

And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Will your system be all right
When you dream of home tonight
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold

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
No, I never made the time

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

Exoneration lost his eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
'Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay very far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

Now there's a majesty at my doorstep
And there's a little boy in her arms
Now we'll parade around without game plans
Obligation or alarm

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay very far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark

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
No, I never made the time

Riding my decision home
In the dark

We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh, come on, oh, come on

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go so let me know if it's all right
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
And then you whisper in my ear
"I know what you're doing here"
So come on, oh, come on, oh, come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh, come on, oh, come on, oh, come on

It's getting close to sundown
Over the Sierra
Stranded on the heatwave
Burning with desire

She was on the sidewalk
Looking for a nightlife
We talked about the real things
And drove into the fire

Headlights on the highway
The desert wind is howling
Rattlesnakes and romance
Are spilling with the rain

Candy apple red dress
Bleedin' when she kissed me
Heaven in a ragtop
Take away my pain

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joy ride (joy ride)
Move across the night
Like a separate wind
(Joy ride)

Pull up to a motel
Vacancy was buzzing
Pink and dirty neon
Settle on the hood

Wrapped her arms around me
Come a little closer
Stumble in the twilight
And fell onto the floor

Lovin' Mona Lisa
Dreaming of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joy ride (joy ride)
Move across the night
Like a separate wind
(Joy ride)

When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to glow
Joy ride (joy ride)
Reaching for the light
Woman, we can win
(Joy ride)

There's something in the distance
A glorious existence
A simple celebration
A place you never been before

Won't you kiss me
Tell me that you want it
(Won't you kiss me)

Reaching for the light
Woman we can win (joy ride)

When your chips are down (when your chips are down)
When your highs are low
Joy ride (joy ride)

All your hopes and dreams
All you need to know
Joy ride (joy ride)

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

I ain't in no hurry
You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch
Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
It must be true

Console me in my darkest hour
And tell me that you always hear my cries
I wonder what you got conspired
I'm sure it dons a consolation prize

I ain't in no hurry
You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch
Fill the night with stories, the legend grows
Of how you got lost

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond, yeah

I heard you found a wishing well
In the city
Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour)
Then you throw me down

I ain't in no hurry
You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch
Fill your crown with rumors
Impending doom
It must be true

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond
And all that now you got lost, but you made your way back home
You went and sold your soul, an allegiance dead and gone (and gone)
I'm losin' touch

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

I ain't in no hurry
You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch
Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
It must be true

Console me in my darkest hour
And tell me that you always hear my cries
I wonder what you got conspired
I'm sure it dons a consolation prize

I ain't in no hurry
You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch
Fill the night with stories, the legend grows
Of how you got lost

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond, yeah

I heard you found a wishing well
In the city
Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour)
Then you throw me down

I ain't in no hurry
You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch
Fill your crown with rumors
Impending doom
It must be true

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond
And all that now you got lost, but you made your way back home
You went and sold your soul, an allegiance dead and gone (and gone)
I'm losin' touch

Comin' out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
And she's takin' a drag

Now they're goin' to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm comin' out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
And she's takin' the drag

Now they're goin' to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never

Comin' out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
And she's takin' a drag

Now they're goin' to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
