Playlist The Killers

the killers - i can t stay

The emotion it was, electric
And the stars, they all aligned
I knew I had to make my, decision
But I never made the time
No, I never made the time

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home

Exoneration lost his, eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, very far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home

There is a majesty at my doorstep
There is a little boy in her arms
Now we'll parade around without game plans
Obligations, or alarm

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, very far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay, much longer
Riding my decision home
In the dark

the killers - somebody told me

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

I'm ready, let's roll on to something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight.

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
When all I wanna do is try

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

the killers - mr brightside

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eagle eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eagle eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never

the killers - when you were young

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes and see the place where you Used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

the killers - human

"Human"

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was broke but i was kind
And sometimes i get nervous
When i see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart

Cut the chord
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything i know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well

You got to let me know
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is so message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers

You got to let me know
Are we human?
Or are we dancers?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answers
Are we human
Or are we dancers?

Are we human?
Or are we dancers?

Are we human
Or are we dancers?

the killers - a dustland fairytale

A Dustland Fairytale beginning
Just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair, foolish eyes

He looks just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
A blue jean serenade, and moon river, what you do to me
I don't believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a palm tonight

Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
She says she always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear like sinking ships
But we persevere, God gives us hope
But we still fear what we don't know

The mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
Drawbridges closing

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I took my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide

Out where the dreams are high
Out here, the wind don't blow
Out here, the good girls die
And the sky won't snow
Out here, the birds don't sing
Out here, the fields don't grow
Out here, the bell don't ring
Out here, the bell don't ring

Out here, the good girls die

Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Oh don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in 61?
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
I wouldn't dream so high

the killers - read my mind

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say i'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days
The honest man
The restless heart
A promised land
A subtle kiss
That no one sees
A broken wrist
And the big trapeize

Oh well i don't mind
If you don't mind
'Cause i don't shine
If you don't shine
Before you go

Can you read my mind?

It`s funny how it just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen
The loaded gun
The drop dead dream
The Chosen One
A southern drawl
A world unseen
A city wall
And a trampoline

Oh well i don't mind
If you don't mind
Cause I don't shine
If you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find
When you read my mind

Slippin in my faith
Until i fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door
Don't let it stay
I wanna breed that fire again

She said
I don't mind
If you don't mind
Cuz i don't shine
If you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

(ooooooo)

The stars are blazing
Like rebel diamonds
Cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

the killers - smile like you mean

Save some face
You know you've only got one
Change your ways
While you're young

Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back
At sunsets on the East side
We lost track of the time

Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Oh no, oh no, no no
Oh no, oh no, no no

the killers - bones

Come with me

We took a back road,
we?re gonna look at the stars
We took a back road in my car
Down to the ocean,
it?s only water and sand
And in the ocean, we?ll hold hands
But I don?t really like you
Apologetic and dressed in the best
but on a heartbeat glide
Without an answer, the thunder speaks from the sky
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry

Don?t you wanna come with me?
Don?t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It?s only natural

A cinematic vision ensued like the holiest dream
It?s someone?s calling?
An angel whispers my name
but the message relayed is the same:
?Wait till tomorrow, you?ll be fine.?

But it?s gone to the dogs in my mind
I always hear them when the dead
of night comes calling to save me from this fight
But they can never wrong this right

Don?t you wanna come with me?
Don?t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It?s only natural.
Don?t you wanna swim with me?
Don?t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It?s only natural.

Never had a lover,
never had soul.
Never had a good time,
Never got gold.

Don?t you wanna come with me?
Don?t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It?s only natural. Don?t you wanna swim with me?
Don?t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It?s only natural. Don?t you wanna come with me?
Don?t you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
It?s only natural. Come and take a swim with me.
Don?t you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
It?s only natural.

the killers - runaways

Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
I'd been on a trail for a little while
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
The teenage rush, she said, 'maybe I'll just runaway, we got time'
Well that ain't much...
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose, oh!

We got engaged on a Friday night
I swore on the head of our unborn child that I could take care of the three of us
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild.
It's in my blood
She says she might just runaway somewhere else, some place good
We can't wait 'til tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose

Let's take a chance baby we can't lose
Mean we're all just runaways
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go

We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
Hold each other to the morning light
We used to laugh, now we only fight
Baby are you lonesome now?

At night I come home after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling ghost, I haunt these halls
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

We can't wait 'til tomorrow
No we're caught up in the appeal, baby why you wanna hide it?
It's the last thing on my mind
(Why you wanna hide it?)
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive and we all just runaway
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin go, no no no!
(No no no!)
(And we're all just runaways)
Yeah runaway
(And we're all just runaways)
Yeah

the killers - shot at the night

Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these palms
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

Once in a lifetime, the breaking of the roof
To find that our home, has long been out grown
Draw me a life line, 'cause honey I got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

the killers - all these things that i ve done

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on

I wanna stand up
I wanna let go
You know
You know
No, you don't
You don't

I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another headache another heart break
I'm so much older that I can take

And my affection
Well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection
No no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you gotta help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on a back burner
You know you gotta help me out yeah

And when there's nowhere else to run

These changes ain't changing me
The cold hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, You know you gotta help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on a back burner
You know you gotta help me out
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down (3x)

I got soul but I'm not a soldier (10x)

Yeah, oh don´t you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out
Yeah, you´re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you´re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh dont you put me on the back burner
You´re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you´re gonna bring yourself down

Over and in
Last call for sin
While everyone is lost
The battle is won
With all these things that I've done

All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

the killers - for reasons unknown

I pack my case, I check my face
I look a little bit older
I look a little bit colder
With one deep breath, and one big step
I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit closer
For reasons unknown...

I caught my stride, I flew and flied
I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
Well my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes, they don't see you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

It was an open chair
We sat down in, the open chair

I said if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind
But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes, they don't see you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you at all

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

I said my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to
And my eyes, don't recognize you no more
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to
And my eyes don't recognize you no more

For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown

the killers - a great big sled

This snowman is shaping up to be an eight
But not out of ten
The robots awake to find that they've been taped down
Wondering when
They break though these chains
But little boys have action toys for brains
I'm living proof it can last a long time
Now the girls up the street are innocent and sweet
While their all in bed
They got their makeup and dreams of wonderland
Sprinkled inside their heads
Soon they will change
But tonight hollywood hills never seem so strange
Their mothers pray it will last a long time

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna relearn what i already know
Just let me take flight dressed in red
Through the night on a great big sled
I wanna wish you merry christmas
Ho ho ho

Now the boys are all grown up
And there working their fingers to the bone
They go around chasing them girls on the weekend
You know they still can't be alone
I've been racking my brain
With thoughts of peace and love
How on earth did we get so mixed up
I pray to god it don't last a long time

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna relearn what i already know
Just let me take flight dressed in red
Through the night on a great big sled

I hear the sound of bells
There's something on the roof
I wonder what this night
Will bring

I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna relearn what i already know
Just let me take flight dressed in red
Through the night on a great big sled

I wanna wish you merry christmas
Can't do that
I wanna wish you merry christmas
Can't do that

the killers - spaceman

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
They left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star crossed world behind
When they cut me open
I guess I changed my mind

And you know I might
Just float too far from the floor this time
Cause theyÂ?re calling me by my name
And they're zipping like lightning
From street corners, phones, and satellites
Oh that was the turning point,
That was one lonely night
The storm maker says it ainÂ?t so bad
The dream makerÂ?s gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down
ItÂ?s all in your mind"

Well, now IÂ?m back at home
And IÂ?m looking forward to this life I live
You know itÂ?s gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
YouÂ?re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap

And you know IÂ?m fine
But I hear those voices at night
Sometimes that justify my claim
And the public donÂ?t cloud my transmission
Cause it wasnÂ?t televised
But it was the turning point
On a lonely night
The storm maker says it ainÂ?t so bad
The dream makerÂ?s gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, Â?Everybody look down!
ItÂ?s all in your mindÂ?

The storm maker says it ainÂ?t so bad
The dream makerÂ?s gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, Â?Everybody look down
ItÂ?s all in your mindÂ?

My global position systems are openly addressed
They say the Nile used to run from East to West
They say the Nile used to run from East to West
The storm maker says it ainÂ?t so bad
The dream makerÂ?s gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, Â?Everybody look down
ItÂ?s all in your mindÂ?

The storm maker says it ainÂ?t so bad
The dream makerÂ?s gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, Â?Everybody look down
ItÂ?s all in your mindÂ?

ItÂ?s all in my mind
ItÂ?s all in my mind
ItÂ?s all in my mind
ItÂ?s all in my mind
ItÂ?s all in my mind
ItÂ?s all in my mind
