This River Is Wild lyrics
Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound
So then I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
'Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them that the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself?
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild
Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
But shake a little
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
I shake a little
Sometimes I hate the line I walk
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself?
I never did get along with everybody else
Ive been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
Because this river is wild
Godspeed you boy
This river is wild
Now Adam's taking bombs
And he's stuck on his mom
Because that bitch keeps trying to make him pray
He's with the hippie in the park coming over the dark
Just trying to get some of that little girl play
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I get along with myself?
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
And pain is hell in me tonight
Because this river is wild
Godspeed you boy
This river is wild
This river is wild
Godspeed you boy
This river is wild
Now the cards are everywhere
Face in dust, the fairground
I don't think I ever seen so many headlights
But there's something pulling me
The circus and the crew
Well they're just passing through
Making sure that merry still goes round
But it's a long, long, long way down

at the beginning i thought it should be:
"He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound son I think YOU'D
better go ahead.
...."
as in 'you had better go ahead' which actually makes sense don't ya think guys??? hmm..well thats just what i think.. :S

Hey, The Killers new charity Christmas song "A Great Big Sled" is so awesome. Brandon has such a sweet voice. Isn't it nice that the money goes to the Red Campaign. It just goes to show that The Killers have warm fuzzy hearts. Luv you Killers! ;)

I'm pretty sure it is "now the Cars are everywhere" because cars have 'headlights', cards dont.

Blah! said:
"Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom"
"He's with the hippie in the park COMBING over the dark"
"And pay in this hell in me tonight"
"Lacing dust to the fairgrounds"
Yeah, I wish they would fix those things as well.

The lyrics here weren't the correct until someone changed them.
Search The Killers Sam's Town in google and you'll find loads of sites with incorrect lyrics. Some even hip hop songs with ho' n bitches in the lyrics.
Makes you wonder...

There I did just a few quick revisions, I might go back over it again I can't decide what the "(but shock a little)" part really is and that it echo's after the next line also I know I just didn't know if it's shock or shake. if anyone knows I'll edit it again.

The 'in case ? and let you go' I believe is 'and catch you when the current lets you go'
