The Killers Lyrics
"The Rising Tide"

The streets of persuasion
Are plated with gold
Your heart's in the right place,
But you travel down the wrong road
Like so many before you
The gates open wide

Here comes the rising tide

Let's go out tonight
There's a mystery underneath the neon lights
Until life and the dream collide
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

Keep up your appearance, you're joinin the choir
With everybody singing out
Glory Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
The time came for your solo
But there was no where to hide

Here comes the rising tide

And the company you keep
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak
So, baby till life and the dream collide
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
If you can't decipher just whose on your side
You will not escape the rising of the tide

Can you tell me brother, was I deceived, or in denial?
I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified (ow ow)
With your pitch fork tongue, you licked your lips, and lied
We're never gonna know how hard you cried
When you petitioned and your access was denied
Till the venom in your veins is satisfied
Till you suffocate & swallow down the pride

Well you can't escape
(You can't escape)
No you can't escape
(You can't escape)
No you can't escape the rising of the tide
