When I offer you survival
Out of the fire
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right
We're gonna take it
Stand up, poor and tired but more than this
The sun is beating down my neck
And I'll tell you when it's over
If you're not nervous anymore?
So I ran with the devil
When it shines like gold
Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain
(I offer you survival!)
Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
It ain't hard to hold
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
Higher and higher
I hit the bottom with a huh
In the land of the free ride
If you're not nervous anymore?
Am I wrong or am I right?
Songwriters: Brandon Flowers, Mark August Stoermer
Higher and higher
We're gonna make it
So you sling rocks at the riptide
How do you know that you're right?
The elements decide my fate
I awoke on the roadside
Higher and higher
When I offer you survival
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
Don't tell me that it's over
Down to the wire

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus
Higher and higher
Down to the wire
How do you know that you're right
Out of the fire
Down to the wire
But I'm pushing on for that horizon
Watch it go
Like a stone on the water
Whoa, higher and higher
When I offer you survival
Shut up poor and tired but more than this
I'm pushing on
We're gonna make it out
Left a trail of excuses
(Bling)
And I can't pull it any longer
We're gonna make it
Watch it go
You say it's hard enough to live
We're gonna take it
You'll remember me
You say it's hard enough to live
Now I've got that blowing wind against my face
You say it's hard enough to live
