Lyrics
Neon Tiger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
You took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
You came from the woodwork in the hopes they might
Redeem themselves from poor decisions to win big
Run, neon tiger, there's a lot on your mind
They'll 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 hangman's hold
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 can send them upon a thousand thrills
Mister, 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 gut you, I'll never let them touch you
Away, away, oh run
I'm begging you neon tiger, roar
Under the heat of
Under the heat of
Under the heat of the southwest Sun
Neon Tiger
There's a lot on your mind
