Neon Tiger lyrics

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 heat of the southwest sun

Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring

Came from the woodwork and 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 maim you,

but don't you let them tame you

You're far too pure and bold

To suffer the strain of the hand and its 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 and tonight can be the night that I stand among the 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 run

Under the heat of

Under the heat of

Under the heat of southwest sun

Neon tiger

There's a lot on your mind
