Far from the evergreen of old Assam 

Far from the breakfall 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 



But neon tiger there's a lot on your mind 

They promised just to pet you, but don't you let them get you 

Away, away, oh, run

Under the neon southwest sun 



Took to the spotlight like a diamond ring 

Came from the woodwork and the hopes they might 

Redeem themselves from poor decisions to win big 



But neon tiger there's a lot on your mind 

They'll set you down to pet you, but don't you let them touch you 

You're far too pure and bold 

To suffer the strain of the hand as holed. 



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 so tonight can be the night that I send them up a thousand thrills 

Can you 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 cut you, I'll never let them touch you 

Away, away, oh, run

Under the neon tiger roar 

Oh I'm gonna need a neon tiger roar 



Under the heat of

Under the heat of

Under the heat of southwest sun
