The Killers – Bling (confession of a king)
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,
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 the blowing wind against my face
So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
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»bling»
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 (x2)
Higher and higher,
We´re gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We´re gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher
It ain´t hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You´ll remember me
