Day & Age

The Killers Day & Age Lyrics
1.Losing Touch

Console me in my darkest hour
Could this be that the truth is always grey
Caress me in your velvet chair
Conceal me from the ghost you cast away

I'm in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I'm losing touch
Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
It must be true

Console me in my darkest hour
And tell me that you'll always hear my cries
I wonder what you got conspired
I'm sure it was the consolation prize

I'm in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I'm losing touch
Fill the night with stories, the legend grows
Of how you got lost

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul, like a Roman vagabond yeah

I heard you found a wishing well
In the city
Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour)
And you throw me down

I'm in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I'm losing touch
Fill your crown with rumours
Impending doom, it must be true

But you made your way back home
You sold your soul, like a Roman vagabond

And all that now you got lost,
but you made your way back home
You went and sold your soul,
an allegiance dead and gone
I'm losing touch


2.Human

I did my best to notice
when the call came down the line
up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
and sometimes I get nervous
when I see an open door
close your eyes, clear your heart

cut the cord
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer

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 good bye, wish me well

you gotta let me go
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer

will your system be alright
when you dream of home tonight
there is no message were receiving
let me know is your heart still beating

are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer

you've gotta let me know
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
are we human
or are we dancer

are we human or are we dancer
are we human or are we dancer


3.Spaceman

oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess I changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'cause they calling me by my name!
And the zipping white light beams
disregards the bombs and satellites!
That was the turning point
That was one lonely night!

The song maker says 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'

Well now I'm back at home and-
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap!

And you know I'm fine but I hear those voices at night
sometimes they justify my claim
and the public don't ground my transmission
'cause it wasn't televised
But it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night!

The song maker says 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'
The song maker says 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
I'm fine but I hear those voices at night
sometimes

The song maker says 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'
The song maker says 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says 'Everybody look down
Its all in your mind!'

It's all in my mi-i-ind
It's all in my mind
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah


4.Joy Ride

Here across the sundown
Over the sierra
Stranded on the heatwave
Burning with desire
She was on the sidewalk
Looking for a nightlife
Talked about the real things
That roll into the fire
Headlights on the highway
The desert wind is howling
Rattlesnakes are ...
Candy apple red trail
Leaving when she kissed me
Heaven on a ragtop
Take away my pain
When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride (Joyride)
Move across the night
Like a separate(?) wind

Pull up to the coattail
make them see what's buzzing
... neon
Settle on the hill
Wrapped her arms around me
Come a little closer
Stumble in the twilight
and fell onto the floor
Loving Mona Lisa
And dreaming of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door
When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joyride (Joyride)
Move across the night
Like a separate(?) wind

When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to flow
Joyride (Joyride)
Reaching for the night
Woman we can win

There's something in the distance
A glorious existence
A simple salvation(?)
Of this you've never felt before

Tell me that you kissed me,
tell me that you are the
Ooooh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Reaching for the night
Woman we can win

When your chips are down (When your chips are down )
When your highs are low
Joyride
All your hopes and dreams
All your dreams and hopes
Joyride


5.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 where 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


6.This Is Your Life

Candy talks to strangers
Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your
prayers
Take a number where the blood just barely dried

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
This feeling won't go

Crooked wheels keep tuning
Children, are you learning
Climatize, but don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and your sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot

Take a number Jackie
Where the blood just barely dried
You know I'm on your side

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
You gotta be stronger than the story
Don't let it blind you
Rivers of shadow
This feeling wont go

And the sky is full of dreams
But you don't know how to fly
I don't have a simple answer
But I know that I could answer
Something better

This feeling won't go
Wait for it (x4)


7.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


8.Neon Tiger

Far from the evergreen of old Assam
Far from the break fall 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

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 the heat of the southwest sun

Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
Came from the woodwork with the hopes they might
Redeem themselves for poor decisions to win big

Run, neon tiger there's a lot on your mind
They strategize and name you,
but don't you let them tame you
You're far too pure and bold
To suffer the strain of the pain that's old

I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be caged
I don't wanna be damned oh hell
I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be saved
I don't wanna be S.O.L.
Give me rolling hills so tonight can be the night
that I stand among a thousand thrills
Can you cut me some slack
'Cause I don't wanna go back
I want a new day and age
Come on girls and boys,
everyone make some noise!

Run, neon tiger there's a price on your head
They'll hunt you down and cut you,
but don't you let them touch you
Away, away, oh run
I'm begging you neon tiger run
Under the heat of
Under the heat of
Under the heat of the southwest sun
Neon Tiger
There's a lot on your mind


9.The World We Live In

This is world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

Well maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well maybe I was mistaken

Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self control

I gotta believe it's worth it
Without a victory,
I'm so sanctified and free
Well maybe I'm just mistaken

Lesson learned and the wheels keep turning

This is the world that we live in
I can't take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we'll make it through

Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self-control

Underneath the waterfall
Baby we're still in this

This is the world that we live in
Feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in

I had a dream that I was falling, down
There's no next time, alone
A storm wastes its water on me
But my life was free

I guess it's the world that we live in
It's not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can't go back
This is the world that we live in
We still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that...

This is the world that we live in


10.Goodnight Travel Well

The unknown distance to the gray beyond
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans, with a sacred pain

It's quiet now
The universe is standing still
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now

And all that stands between the soul's release
This temporary flesh and bone
And know that it's over now
I feel my fading mind begin to roam
Every time you fall, and every time you try
Every foolish dream, and every compromise
Every word you spoke, and everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head

And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
Up above the world, so high

Everything you loved, and every time you try
Everybody's boxed in, and everybody cry
Stay, don't leave me,
the stars can wait for your sign, don't signal now

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well

There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do now
Goodnight, travel well


11.A Crippling Blow (Bonus)

Here at my house
Time is sweet
I hear the children
Playing in the street
Out where the hot winds
Blow a gentle breeze
Aaaaaa ahahahaha

I don't need time
I don't need time
No I can get by myself
I don't need time
I don't know why
The summer wind
Did not tell
I scramble all night
And I know that I
Will never be common will
But I can get by in the meantime by myself
Whoooo!

He's a real winner
All over they say
Sleeping in the lazy afternoon (noon)
A danger to the doubters they assume (sume)

I don't need time
I don't need time
No I can get by myself
I don't need time
I don't know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble online
And I know that I
will never be common will
But I can get by in the meantime by myself

Deal me a crippling blow (a crippling blow)
Steal me from under my clothes (from under my clothes)
A crippling blow (a crippling blow)

I don't need time
I don't need time
No I can get by myself
I don't need time
I don't know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble online
And I know that I will never be common will
But I can get by in the meantime by myself
Lord, I can get by in the meantime by myself

I can get by in the meantime by myself


12.Forget About What I Said (Bonus)
