Joyride Songtext
von The Killers

It′s gettin' close to sundown over the Sierra
Stranded on the heatwave, burnin′ with desire
She was on the sidewalk lookin' for a nightlife
We talked about the real things and drove into the fire
Headlights on the highway
The desert wind is howlin'
Rattlesnakes and romance are spillin′ with the rain

Candy apple red dress
Bleedin′ when she kissed me
Heaven in a ragtop
Take away my pain

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joy ride (joy ride)
Move across the night
Like a separate wind
(Joy ride)


Pulled up to a motel
Vacancy was buzzin'
Pink and dirty neon
Settle on the hood
Wrapped her arms around me
Come a little closer
Stumble in the twilight
And fell onto the floor

Lovin′ Mona Lisa
Dreamin' of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door

When your chips are down
When your highs are low
Joy ride (joy ride)
Move across the night
Like a separate wind
(Joy ride)

When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go
Joy ride (joy ride)
Reachin′ for the light
One that we can win
(Joy ride)


There's somethin′ in the distance
A glorious existence
A simple celebration
A place you've never been before
Tell me that you want it more

Reachin' for the light
One that we can win
When your chips are down (when your chips are down)
When your highs are low
Joy ride (joy ride)

All your hopes and dreams
All you need to know
Joy ride (joy ride)
