The Rising Tide

The Rising Tide (漲潮) - The Killers (殺手樂團)

The streets of persuasion

Are plated with gold

Your heart's in the right place

But you traveled down the wrong road

Like so many before you

The gates open wide

Here comes the rising tide

(Rising tide)

Let's go out tonight

There's a mystery underneath the neon light

Before the 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 join in the choir

With everybody singing out

Glory Hallelujah

(Hallelujah)

The time came for your solo

But there was nowhere to hide

Here comes the rising tide

(Rising tide)

And the company you keep

Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak

So baby till the life and the dream collide

There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights

If you can't decipher just who's on your side

You will not escape the rising of the tide

*instrumental*

Can you tell me brother was I deceived or in denial

I was there in the back of the room when you testified

(Oww Oww)

With your pitchfork tongue you licked your lips and lied

Were never gonna know how hard you cried

(Cried cried cried)

When you petitioned then your access was denied

Till the venom in your veins is satisfied

Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride

(Pride)

Well you can't escape

(You cant escape)

Well you can't escape

(You can't escape)

Well you can't escape the rising of the tide
