Neon Tiger

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 'em get you

Away, away, oh, one

Under the heat of the southwest sun

You took to the spotlight like a diamond ring

It came from the woodwork in the hopes they might

Redeem themselves for poor decisions

To win big

Run, neon tiger, there's a lot on your mind

They strategize and name you

But don't you let 'em tame you

You're far too pure and bold

To suffer the strain of the hangman's 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, oh, 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 'em touch you

Away, away, oh, one

I'm begging you, neon tiger, run

Under the heat of—

Under the heat of—

Under the heat of the southwest sun

Neon tiger

There's a lot on your mind
