Lyrics

[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
[Verse 2]
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, run
Under the heat of the southwest sun
[Verse 3]
You took to the spotlight like a diamond ring
It came from the woodwork in the hopes they might
Redeem themselves from poor decisions
To win big
[Verse 4]
Run, neon tiger, there's a lot on your mind
They strategize to maim 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Come on, girls and boys
Everyone make some noise
[Verse 8]
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 begging you, neon tiger, run
[Verse 9]
Under the heat of
Under the heat of
Under the heat of the southwest sun
[Verse 10]
Neon tiger
There's a lot on your mind
