The Killers Rut

Don’t give up on me

‘Cause I’m just in a rut

I’m climbing but the walls keep stacking up

 

Can’t keep my mind off

Of every little wrong

I see their mouths are open

But I can’t hear the song

I’ve done my best to fill ‘em

But the cracks are starting to spread

Hey I won’t blame you baby

Go on turn your head

 

But don’t give up on me

‘Cause I’m just in a rut

I’m climbing but the walls keep stacking up

 

I can’t keep pretending

This next stop isn’t mine

The truth is on the table

Someone’s gotta sign

I’ve done my best defending

But the punches are starting to land

I’m sliding into something

You won’t understand

 

Don’t give up on me

‘Cause I’m just in a rut

I’m climbing but the walls keep stacking up

But don’t give up on me

‘Cause I’m just in a rut

I’m climbing but the walls keep stacking up

 

So I'm handing you a memory

I hope you understand

That steadily reminds you

Of who I really am

 

This city’s always breathing

I wish that it would die

The kickbacks and the bachelors

The fever for the velvet rope

The money from my mother’s men

I’m not like her, you’re not like them

 

I’ll climb and I’ll climb, I’ll climb and I’ll climb, I’ll climb and I’ll climb

I’ll climb and I’ll climb, I’ll climb and I’ll climb, I’ll climb and I’ll climb

I’ll climb and I’ll climb, I’ll climb and I’ll climb, I’ll climb and I’ll climb

 

Don’t you give up on me

Don’t you give up, don’t you give up

Don’t you give up on me

Don’t you give up, don’t you give up

Don’t you give up on me

Don’t you give up, don’t you give up

Don’t you give up on me

Don’t you give up, don’t you give up
