My Own Soul’s Warning Lyrics

[Intro]

I tried going against my own soul's warning

But in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming

I just wanted to get back to where you are

[Verse]

If you could see through the banner of the sun

Into eternity's eyes, like a vision reaching down to you

Would you turn away?

What if it knew you by your name?

What kind of words would cut through the clutter of the whirlwind of these days?

[Pre-Chorus]

I tried going against my own soul's warning

And in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried diving, even though the sky was storming

Thunderheads were forming

[Chorus]

But then I thought I could fly

And when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound

And it kept on rattling through my days

And cutting up my nights

Like a goddamn knife

And it got me thinking, no matter how far

I just wanted to get back to where you are

[Pre-Chorus]

I tried going against my own soul's warning

And in the end, something just didn't feel right

Oh, I tried running from the memory and the mourning

But the penalty kept on pouring

[Chorus]

And now I think I know why

'Cause when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound

And it kept on rattling through my days

And cutting up my nights

Like a goddamn knife

And it got me thinking, no matter how far

I just wanted to get back to where you are

Blowback Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's reaching for her backpack

Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus

She's sittin' on a secret

She didn't ask for, no girl ever did

But there's a whisper in her heartbeat

And she can hear it just enough to keep her alive

When she's breathing in the blowback

There's nothing you can offer she ain't already tried

[Chorus]

But she's breathing in the blowback

Born into poor white trash and always typecast

But she's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that

It's just a matter of time

She fights back

(Breathing in again)

Breathing in the blowback

[Verse 2]

She is sucking on a Tic-Tac

A good man is a mystery, she's looking for clues

Woah, you'd better check that, buddy

'Cause the blacktop's burning up what's left of the fuse

And she knows where she comes from

Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again

It's like breathing in the blowback

It's a hijack, now how much are you willing to spend?

[Chorus]

But she's breathing in the blowback

Born into poor white trash and always typecast

But she's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that

It's just a matter of time

She fights back

(Breathing in again)

Breathing in the blowback

[Bridge]

(Breathing in the blowback)

Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags

(Breathing in the blowback)

She's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that

[Outro]

Can you cast out a demon?

Can you wrangle the wind?

Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?

Dying Breed Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's gonna be opposition

Ain't no way around it

But if you're looking for strong and steady

Well, baby, you found it

We'll weather the coldest night

Baby, we're a dying breed

When everyone's compromising

I'll be your diehard

I'll be there when water's rising

I'll be your lifeguard

We're cut from a stained glass mountain

Baby, we're a dying breed

[Refrain]

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na

[Verse 2]

When facing the wind got wicked

We rallied and raised up

So now if she comes back kicking

We'll know what we're made of

There's gonna be opposition

But we've got everything we need

Ooh, baby, we're a dying breed

[Chorus]

From the coveted touch of a girl in love

I was lifted by the sound of a spirit in need

Baby, we're a dying breed

[Bridge]

I don't know what you want from me

Sometimes I don't know what to do

It's like I'm screaming in a dream

It's like I can't get through

What if we're not prepared for this?

What if we just can't find the trail?

Then I remember the promise I made

And the way that I fell

[Chorus]

For the coveted touch of a girl in love

I was taken by the sound of a spirit in need

Baby, we're a dying breed

We've got everything we need

Baby, we're a dying breed

[Outro]

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na

Caution Lyrics

[Intro]

And there is nothing

I wouldn't do

There is nothing

I wouldn't give

There is nothing

Compelling me

[Verse 1]

Let me introduce you to the featherweight queen

She got Hollywood eyes

But you can't shoot what she's seen

Her mama was a dancer

And that's all that she knew

'Cause when you live in the desert

It's what pretty girls do

[Chorus]

I'm throwin' caution

What's it gonna be?

Tonight the winds of change are blowin' wild and free

If I don't get out

Out of this town

I just might be the one who finally burns it down

[Post-Chorus]

I'm throwin' caution

[Verse 2]

Never had a diamond on the sole of her shoes

Just black top, white trash

Straight out of the news

Doesn't like birthdays

They remind her of why

She can go straight from zero

To the Fourth of July

[Chorus]

I'm throwin' caution

What's it gonna be?

Tonight the winds of change are comin' over me

If I don't get out

Out of this town

I just might be the one who finally burns it down

[Post-Chorus]

I'm throwin' caution

I'm throwin' caution (Throwin' caution)

I'm throwin' caution

I'm throwin' caution (Throwin' caution)

[Bridge]

'Cause it's some kind of sin

To live your whole life

On a might've been

I'm ready now

[Instrumental Outro]

Lightning Fields Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]

Last night I saw you dressed in white

Nothing around you

You were standing in the lightning field of love

You were waiting for the lightning to come

I didn't want to wake up

I just wanted to run my fastest

And stand beside you

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

I just wanted to run my fastest and stand beside you in

The lightning field of love

I didn't want to wake up

I just wanted to run my fastest and stand beside you in

The lightning field

Press your face to mine, name and raise again

Take the car out for a drive

Run my fastest and stand beside you in

The lightning field of love

Name and raise again, press your face to mine

Run my fastest and name and raise again

Hold your hand again, speak your name again

Over heels again, tell you everything

[Bridge: K.D. Lang, Brandon Flowers]

Late at night, I lie in bed and think about things left unsaid and

All the things that I'd do different if I just had the chance

Don't beat yourself up, you laid good ground

Look at 'em all from scratch 'til sundown

You put the work in and then some

Where is all this coming from?

There's no end to love

There's no end to truth

There's no end to me

There's no end to you

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]

I just wanted to run my fastest and stand beside you in

The lightning field of love

Press your face to mine, name and raise again

Take the car out for a drive

Take me with you to the other side

Run my fastest and stand beside you in

The lightning field of love

Name and raise again, press your face to mine

Run my fastest and name and raise again

Give my name again, speak your name again

Bring myself to just tell you everything, tell you everything

Everything

Fire in Bone Lyrics

[Intro]

(Fire in bone)

I felt fire in bone

(Fire in bone)

I felt fire in bone

(Fire in bone)

[Verse 1]

I felt cast out

I felt eighty-sixed

I felt darkness

But I felt fire in bone

I felt no good

I felt lowdown

And I felt alone

I felt unknown

[Refrain]

I felt fire in bone

(Wrongly accused and disowned)

I felt fire in bone

[Verse 2]

I felt big time

I felt major league

I felt weird sin

I felt fire in bone

I felt ripped off

Run down, wrung out

Empty, unseen

And preyed upon

[Refrain]

I felt fire in bone

[Chorus]

When I came back empty-handed

You were waiting in the road

And you fell on my neck

And you took me back home

After all that I took from you

After all that I put you through

Here I am

[Post-Chorus]

I felt fire in bone

[Verse 3]

I felt washed up

I felt tempest-tossed and seasick

But I felt fire in bone

I felt mislead

I felt chained up, unclean, unknown

I felt unknown

[Refrain]

I felt fire in bone

[Chorus]

And they say no one's gonna save you

You gotta make it on your own

But I called from the dark

And you picked up the phone

On my back in the raging blue

I looked up, and you cut right through

And when I came back empty-handed

You met me in the road

And you fell on my neck

And you took me back home

After all that I took from you

After all that I put you through

Here I am

[Outro]

Here I am

Running Towards a Place Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Give me the eyes that I may see

The good in my people and the trouble in me

Give me the hands that I may lift

The weight of another who's starting to drift

[Chorus]

And if we're running towards a place

Where we'll walk as one

Will the hardness of this life

Be overcome?

If I lay with you in love

Will you meet me there?

And shake the lightning from the locks

Of your unbound hair

Can two become one?

[Verse 2]

Give me a song that I may sing

That cuts like a canyon and rides on a wing

And give a heart that I may stand

For what I believe in

[Chorus]

And if we're running towards a place

Where we'll walk as one

Will the hardness of this life

Be overcome?

If I walk the wild blue

Will you meet me there?

And shake the lightning from the locks

Of your unbound hair

Can two become one?

[Bridge]

Can you see the world

In a grain of sand?

Can you find heaven in a wildflower

Hold it in the palm of your hand?

The moment we met

Burst like a star

Onto the canvas of the skyline, purple and gold

We're in this together, I ain't never letting go

[Chorus]

Because we're running towards a place

Where we'll walk as one

And the sadness of this life

Will be overcome

If I lay with you in love

Will you meet me there?

And shake the lightning from the locks

Of your unbound hair

My God Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]

Mirage after mirage

Crawling back to your arms

Stay, stay

From your mouth to my heart

Stay, stay

From your mouth to my heart

Stay, stay

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Weyes Blood]

Don't talk to me about forgiveness

My God, just look who's back in business

That weight that dragged you down, it has been made light

And I'm at the top of my lungs

'Cause big love cannot be understated

Don't push, control is overrated

I know that if we stick together

My God, it's like the weight has been lifted

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers]

Wipe the dust from my eye

Wash my feet with your tears

My God, my God

From your mouth to my heart

Stay, stay

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Weyes Blood]

Don't talk to me about forgiveness

My God, just look who's back in business

That weight that dragged you down, it has been made light

And I'm at the top of my lungs

'Cause big lovе cannot be understated

Don't push, control is ovеrrated

I know that if we stick together

My God, it's like the weight has been lifted

[Bridge: Weyes Blood]

The weight has been lifted

We finally let go

We let go of what holds

Our hearts in the cold

The weight has been lifted

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Weyes Blood]

Don't talk to me about forgiveness

My God, just look who's back in business

That weight we lugged around, it has been made light

I'm at the top of my lungs

'Cause big love cannot be understated

Don't push, control is overrated

I know that if we stick together

My God, it's like the weight has been lifted

When the Dreams Run Dry Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Can't hear myself think through the crashing of the rain

I'm passing judgement in the fast lane

And smoothing out a rough stone

Guess it comes with age

You start to wonder about the time theft

How much of it you got left

Comes in with the age now

[Chorus]

But when the dreams run dry

I will be where I always was

Standing at your side

Letting go of the reins

We're all going to die

[Verse 2]

When they're closing up the door

Nobody wishing that they worked more

Don't bother with your suitcase

We'll beat the birds down to Acapulco Bay

Or Honolulu on hearsay, running at our own pace

And I'll be on your side when the dreams run dry

[Chorus]

When the dreams run dry

I will be where I always was

Standing at your side

Letting go of the reins

[Bridge]

Reach for the summit

Of an ancient design

On the verge of eternal

On the heels of divine

If you stumble and fall (If you stumble and fall)

If the way can't be found (If the way can't be found)

[Outro]

We'll just follow the moon to the stars, to the sun, to the ground

And around and around and around

In the light, in the heat, through the folds and the bends

And again and again and again

To the moon, to the stars, to the sun, to the ground

And around and around and around

In the light, in the heat, through the folds and the bends

And again and again and again

Imploding the Mirage Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was a timid Rockwellian boy

She was tattooed and ready to deploy

Gave me reservation and the like

But she could be the dangerous type

But I threw caution 'cause something about that yin and the yang

Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

[Chorus]

While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause

I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

Struck my name from the camouflage

I wasn't lost in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

[Verse 2]

I had to do it, I had no other choice

You've got to listen to the inside voice

A bullet train will get you there fast

But it won't guarantee a long last

Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt

To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

[Chorus]

While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause

I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

Struck my name from the camouflage

I wasn't lost in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

[Bridge]

I was spellbound by the show

The matchless power of the glow

I was bound by golden shackles, getting by

She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse

Doesn't need no pair of shoes

Her wings have come, and she's ready for the sky

[Chorus]

While you were out there, chewing on fat for probable cause

I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

I walked right out of the camouflage

I wasn't locked in no collage

I was imploding the mirage
