Terrible Thing

Terrible Thing - The Killers (殺手樂團)

Lyrics by：Brandon Flowers

Composed by：Brandon Flowers

The parking lot is rammed with shotgun pickup trucks

At the Jones Rubber plant where all the guys end up

Beer-drinking boy scouts living life like they ain't stuck

On these quicksand streets with their girls in a sling

I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing

Around here we all take up our cross and hang on his holy name

But the cards that I was dealt will get you thrown out of the game

Hey mama can't you see your boy is wrapped up in the strangle silk

Of this cobweb town where culture is king

I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing

I close my eyes and think of the water

Out at the Salt Creek when I was young

Down at Old Mill Park half the town's in tow

To crown the bathing beauty of the rodeo

While her mother fights back proud tears a young cowboy gives the nod

The chute opens bull draws blood and the gift is accepted by God

The chute opens bull draws blood and the gift is accepted by God

In this barbed wire town of barbed wire dreams

I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing

I close my eyes and think of the water

Out at the Salt Creek when I was young

I close my eyes and think of the water

Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
