Dave Keuning - Neon Tiger lyrics

[Verse 1] Far from the evergreen of old Assam Far from the rainfall on the trails of old Saigon Straight from the poster town of scorn and Ritz To bring you the wilder side of gold and glitz [Verse 2] Run neon tiger there's a lot on your mind They promised just to pet you, but don't you let them get you Away, away, oh, run Under heat of the southwest sun [Verse 3] Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring Came from the woodwork in the hopes they might Redeem themselves from poor decisions to win big [Verse 4] Run neon tiger there's a lot on your mind They'll strategise and aim you, but don't you let them tame you You're far too pure and bold To suffer the strain of the hand and its hold [Verse 5] I don't want to be kept, I don't want to be caged, I don't want to be damned, oh hell I don't want to be broke, I don't want to be saved, I don't want to be S.O.L Give me rolling hills and tonight can be the night that I stand among the thousand thrills Mister cut me some slack, cause I don't want to go back, I want a new day and age Come on girls and boys, everyone make some noise! [Verse 6] Run neon tiger there's a price on your head They'll hunt you down and gut you, I'll never let them touch you Away, away, oh, run I'm begging you neon tiger run [Outro] Under the heat of Under the heat of Under the heat of southwest sun Neon tiger There's a lot on your mind
