Paroles de 'This River Is Wild' par The Killers

Leaves are falling down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from a man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound
Son I think you'd 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
Boy it ain't nothin' new
Now go and show 'em 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
Don't 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
Well this river is wild
This river is wild

Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Don't watch it turn
But shake a little
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk, 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
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
Because this river is wild
God speed 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 hippy in the park combing over the dark
Just trying to get some of the little girl play

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world, don't 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 pay this hell in me tonight
Because this river is wild
God speed you boy this river is wild
This river is wild
God speed you boy this river is wild

Now the cars are everywhere
Lacing dust at the fairgrounds

I don't think I've ever seen so many headlights
But there's something pulling me
The circus and their crew
Well they're just passing through
Just making sure that merry still goes 'round
But it's a long, long, long way down
