Neon Tiger |
Far from the evergreen of old Assam |
Far from the breakfall 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 |
But neon tiger there’s a lot on your mind |
They promised just to pet you, but don’t you let them get you |
Away, away, oh, run |
Under the neon southwest sun |
Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring |
Came from the woodwork and the hopes they might |
Redeem themselves from poor decisions to win big |
But neon tiger there’s a lot on your mind |
They’ll set you down to pet you, but don’t you let them touch you |
You’re far too pure and bold |
To suffer the strain of the hand as holed. |
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 can be the night that I send them up a thousand thrills |
Can you 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 cut you, I’ll never let them touch you |
Away, away, oh, run |
Under the neon tiger roar |
Oh I’m gonna need a neon tiger roar |
Under the heat of Under the heat of Under the heat of southwest sun |
