[00:00.00]The Rising Tide
[00:00.24]The Killers
[00:15.04]
[00:42.77]The streets of persuasion
[00:46.27]Are plated with gold
[00:49.71]Your heart's in the right place,
[00:52.14]But you travel down the wrong road
[00:56.39]Like so many before you
[00:59.65]The gates open wide
[01:02.40]Here come the rising tide
[01:05.83]
[01:09.46]Let's go out tonight
[01:16.21]There's a mystery underneath the neon light
[01:23.27]Before life and dreams collide
[01:30.15]Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
[01:37.21]And you can't escape the rising of the tide
[01:41.71]
[01:45.39]Keep up your appearance; you're joining the choir
[01:52.29]With everybody singing out "Glory, Hallelujah"
[01:59.04]The time came for your solo
[02:02.29]But there was nowhere to hide
[02:04.98]Here come the rising tide
[02:08.92]
[02:12.10]And the company you keep,
[02:18.79]Well they plan your crucifixion as we speak
[02:25.23]So, baby 'til life and the dream collide
[02:32.35]There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
[02:39.73]If you can''t decipher just who's on your side
[02:46.67]You will not escape the rising of the tide
[02:51.10]
[03:04.28]Can you tell me brother? Was I deceived, or in denial?
[03:11.10]I was there, in the back of the room, when you testified
[03:14.98]
[03:21.54]With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips and lied
[03:27.85]We're never gonna know how hard you cried
[03:35.35]When you petitioned and your access was denied
[03:42.29]'Til the venom in your veins is satisfied
[03:49.25]'Til you suffocate and swallow down the pride
[03:54.49]
[03:56.31]Well you can't escape
[03:58.37]You can't escape
[03:59.75]Yeah, you can't escape
[04:01.31]You can't escape
[04:03.18]No, you can't escape the rising of the tide
[04:07.62]
