The Killers "The Rising Tide" Слова пісні

The Rising Tide

The streets of persuasionAre plated with goldYour heart's in the right place,But you travel down the wrong roadLike so many before youThe gates open wideHere come the rising tide (rising tide)

Let's go out tonightThere's a mystery underneath the neon lightBefore life and dreams collideCause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wideAnd you can't escape the rising of the tide

Keep up your appearance; you're joining the choirWith everybody singing out "Glory, Hallelujah" (Hallelujah)The time came for your soloBut there was nowhere to hideHere come the rising tide (rising tide)

And the company you keep,Well they plan your crucifixion as we speakSo, baby 'til life and the dream collideThere's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lightsIf you can't decipher just who's on your sideYou will not escape the rising of the tide

Can you tell me brother? Was I deceived, or in denial?I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified

With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and liedWe're never gonna know how hard you criedWhen you petitioned and your access was denied'Til the venom in your veins is satisfied'Til you suffocate and swallow down the pride

Well you can't escape(You can't escape)Yeah, you can't escape(You can't escape)No, you can't escape the rising of the tide
