Flesh And Bone

Flesh And Bone (骨肉之軀) - The Killers (殺手樂團)

I've gone through life white-knuckled

In the moments that left me behind

Refusing to heed the yield

I penetrate the force fields in the blind

They say I'll adjust

God knows I must

But I'm not sure how

This natural selection picked me out to be

A dark horse running in a fantasy

(Flesh and bone)

And I'm running out of time

(Flesh and bone)

Somewhere outside that finish line

I square up and break through the chains

And I hit like a raging bull

Anointed by the blood I take the reins

Cut from the cloth of a flag that

Bears the name of "Battle Born"

They'll call me the contender

They'll listen for the bell

With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

(What are you afraid of )

And what are you made of

(Flesh and bone)

And I'm running out of time

(Flesh and bone)

And what are you made of

(Flesh and bone)

Man I'm turning on a dime

(Flesh and bone)

(This could decay)

This could decay

Like the valley below

Defences are down

The stakes are high

(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)

The fairytale end

(To face off the journey that fathers no more)

The staggering blow

(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)

You lead with your chin

(Thinkin' with your corners just a compass and the sun)

This could be real

(Thinkin' with your corners just a)

Simple

And what are you made of

(Flesh and bone)

And I'm running out of time

(Flesh and bone)

What are you made of

He faces forward

Trading in his blindness for the world of love

And time is raging may it rage in vain

And you always had it but you never knew

So boots and saddles get on your feet

There's no surrender cause there's no retreat

The bells are sounding bring this match to an end

We are the descendents of giant men
