Paroles Tiger's blood Brandon Flowers

Tiger's blood

Tiger's blood shedding on the sidewalk
Alfalfa in the air
New kid in the county
Crowd shy, hunch in the shoulders
With gelled-up hair
"Cowboy up" on a shot Ford Ranger
You're a stranger now

Meet me at the Country Crossroads
Cheerleader working the till
She wants to get outta this podunk place so bad
She can taste the dream distill
Peach fuzz boys getting hard in the corner on Mortal Kombat

The swamp cooler's leaking down the bricks outside
Yeah, I wanna go, but I need a ride
Swisher Sweet dreams blowin' like breeze
Down in the hollow of the cottonwood trees
We'll get work, and we'll pay the rent
In a few more years when we're real men

The last thing that I heard
You were doing okay
We took different roads
To heal the hurt, not fade away
The things that we can't explain
Roll on like a runaway train
Into the fire and out of the frame
Wild and gone like a runaway train

Disposable Kodak memory
You crack another joker smile
Diploma in your hand on the fifty yard line
Runners on your mark for the longest mile
And no one ever thinks that they'll be lonely when they're all grown up
They're just living their best lie

The swamp cooler's leaking down the bricks outside
Yeah, I wanna go, but I need a ride
Swisher Sweet dreams blowin' like breeze
Down in the hollow of the cottonwood trees
We bury the things in shallow graves
That wet our eyes when the music plays

The last thing that I heard
You were doing okay
We took different roads to heal the hurt
Not fade away
The things that we can't explain
Roll on like a runaway train
Into the fire and out of the frame
Wild and gone like a runaway train
Last thing that I heard
You were doing okay
I still smile when I remember us in younger days
The things that we can't explain
Roll on like a runaway train
Into the fire and out of the frame
Wild and gone like a runaway train

Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway
Like a run, like a runaway train
Like a runaway train
