Confessions Of A King
The Killers

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

Stand up for a Tiber 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 that 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

(I offer you survival!)

When I offer you survival

You say it's hard enough to live

And I'll tell you when it's over

Shut up for a Tiber 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

Higher and higher

We're gonna take it

Down to the wire

We're gonna make it

Out of the fire

Higher and higher

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
