Neon Tiger

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring

Came from the woodwork in the hopes they might

Redeem themselves from poor decisions

To win big

[Chorus 2]

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

[Bridge]

I don't want to be kept, I don't want to be caged

I don't want to be damned, oh hell

I don't want to be broke, I don't want to be saved

I don't want to 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!

Woo, woo!

[Chorus 3]

Run, neon, tiger there's a price on your head

They'll hunt you down and gut you, I'll never let 'em touch you

Away, away, oh, run

I'm beggin' you, neon tiger, run

Under the heat of, under the heat of

Under the heat of southwest sun

[Outro]

Neon tiger

There's a lot on your mind
