Bling lyrics
When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?
I awoke on the roadside,
In the land of the free ride,
And I can't pull it any longer,
The sun is beating down my neck
So I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses,
Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate,
Watch it go..."bling".
When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
Don't tell me that it's over,
Poor and tired,
But more than this
How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I'm pushing on for that horizon,
I'm pushing on,
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face
So you sling rocks at the rip tide,
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!"
(??) Quite strange,
I get my glory in the desert rain,
Watch it go..."bling".
When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Shut up poor and tired,
But more than this
How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...
Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it,
Out of the fire,
Higher and higher. (x2)
Higher and higher,
We're gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We're gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...
It ain't hard to hold,
When it shines like gold,
You'll remember me.

This whole CD is awesome. The Killers are my favorite band in the world (aside from Nine Inch Nails, of coarce). Brendon Flowers is Hott, he's like one of the only men who can pull of wearing lip gloss, and look totally hott doing so.
The Killers are a phenomenon.
This Cd IS the best album to come out in the last 25 years.
Rock on fucktarts!

I guess it could be "quite strange." I never heard it that way. I always heard "hook-line" as in "hook, line, and sinker." But then I can't tell what he says after that. This song gets stuck in my head all the time, and I'm glad. haha
