THE KILLERS LYRICS
“Read My Mind”
On the corner of main street
Just tryin’ to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I’m falling behindCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?I never really gave up on
Breakin’ out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I’m gonna turn this thing aroundCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapezeOh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin’ on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin’ my spineCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampolineOh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mindSlippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don’t let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire againShe said I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shinePut your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on meThe stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind22 March, 2008 at 4:14 pm #139543Angry Mob
I can prove anything
I’ll make you admit again and again
I can prove anything
The way that it’s read again and againAnd its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you’d be dead
Its only cos you follow what the others do
Its no excuse to say your easily leadYou can choose anything
You choose to lose again and again
You could do anything
Why should you do anything againAnd its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you’d be dead
Winding yourself up until your turning blue
Repeating everything that you’ve readAnd here we go with the letter
Well can you fix it for me
Cos we need entertainment
To keep us all off the streetsSo tonight you’ll sleep softly in your bed
You can try anything
And no-one would know apart from you and me
You can stop anything
It’s starts with just one and turns to two then threeIts only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you’d be dead
Raise a glass or two
You raise a fist or two
Get a shopping basket wrapped round your headSo here we go with the letter
Oh can you fix it for me
24 hour drinking
To keep us all off the streetsSo tonight you’ll sleep softly in your bed
We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday day
We like who like
We hate who we hate
But we’re also easily swayed

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater(Chorus)
You don’t need to bother
I don’t need to be
I’ll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won’t let go till it bleedsWish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying(Chorus)
Wish I’d died, instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with its memories
Diaries left, with cryptic entries(Chorus)
You don’t need to bother
I don’t need to be
I’ll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I’ll never live down my deceithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7ywhd8Nwt4

22 March, 2008 at 6:28 pm #139545I love through glass by stone sour…. beautiful song.
oh.. I guess I could post the lyrics….
I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head[Cause I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head ]How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget you don’t expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can’t expect a bit of hope
So while you’re outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you’re staring at is me‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
but No one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your headHow much is real?
So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It’s just a different scene
Remember it’s just different from what you’ve seenI’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your headAnd it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it’s the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah ah
And it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it’s the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah ahI’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head‘Cause I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your headAnd it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you, yeah ah
And it’s the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah ah
And it’s the stars
The stars that shine for you, yeah ah
And its’s the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah yeahOh when the stars
Oh when the stars they lie.22 March, 2008 at 6:29 pm #139546So while you’re outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you’re staring at is melove that bit :)
22 March, 2008 at 6:44 pm #139547That’s my favourite from the current album. I think some of the lyrics in ’30/30-150′ – even if you don’t care much for the music which, fair enough, isn’t to everyone’s taste – are really good. I wouldn’t call it a classic or resonant though (it’s also a cop out cos there’s loads of lyrics to it and I don’t know if I have the patience!)
You wanna live in a one sided world
Be prepared for a whole world of hurt
Now with the grand facade
I don’t want to be an angel
I just want to be GOD!22 March, 2008 at 7:00 pm #139548I have the album, but haven’t listened to it that much recently. I will have to have another listen to that track.
22 March, 2008 at 7:03 pm #139549If it wasn’t for ‘Through Glass’ that’d be my favourite track. But people are missing out on some good songs just cos they don’t like the music and that’s a shame.

Erm… I have to say though, that the whole point of songs is the combination of lyrics and music. If you don’t like the music you are unlikely to bother to listen to the lyrics.
22 March, 2008 at 8:43 pm #139551and why did i get a scroll bar for that little quote? That looks bloody silly. I can understand using scroll bars for quoting huge amounts, but for that piddly little bit?
Get it together PB/Martin!
