Radio Paradise (mobile)

On the corner of Main Street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light, I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Can you read my mind?
It's funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop-dead dream, the Chosen One
A Southern drawl, a world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Tell me what you find
Can you read my mind?
Slippin' in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said, I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Oh, put your back on me
Oh, put your back on me
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
Can you read my mind?

Every so often, a little "amateurish"-sounding stuff is what music needs - not too often, of course. Sometimes you have performers that are so "professional", that they're essentially bloodless, as in "professional" bands like Toto or Styx. [ Reply ]

stevendejong Nov 11, 2012 - 02:41	Ah, satisfied, my rating made this song one decimal less good on average :) [ Reply ]
NuggetNectar Oct 10, 2012 - 18:10	Going to rate this a 10 to spite the hipster doofus crowd that says "better bands in the 80's". Hipster doofus as it gets [ Reply ]
milipili Aug 26, 2012 - 11:00	Probably the only song I like from this album. They really started getting derailed after this IMO. Come to think about it, I think I only really liked Hot Fuss as a whole. The rest were just meh... [ Reply ]
SmartDeeDee Aug 08, 2012 - 17:35	My favorite Killers' song ever. So glad to hear it here! [ Reply ]

agkagk Mar 03, 2012 - 10:34	He has a weak tremulous voice, but there is still some toe-tapping goodness in this and other Killers/Flowers work. [ Reply ]
aspicer Mar 03, 2012 - 10:34	Always curious how someone would choose this band instead of SEVERAL other great bands from the 80s.....they are such copycats and horrible at it to boot! [ Reply ]

andy_pomus Feb 18, 2011 - 12:42	Great band! [ Reply ]
ashjonesie Aug 12, 2010 - 16:22	this song is pretty amazing... defintely one of the best songs off this album.. but I am jus a tad partial. [ Reply ]
nalle May 09, 2010 - 04:31	Yes, I like it. [ Reply ]
jagdaf Feb 03, 2010 - 08:43	Although the band is rather pretentious (ala from Las Vegas), they are quite lyrical with a good basic idea of creating new music with each album. This is due to the top producers that have touched everything they have done to date. For those that like Coldplay, U2, Muse, then this is a good jr. varsity team to them, and you definitely need 3-4 listens to "get it". [ Reply ]
Dillinquent Feb 03, 2010 - 08:43	I'm getting to quite like this lot - thanks RP! [ Reply ]
gumbo73039 Feb 03, 2010 - 08:42	Hmmmm. Nope. [ Reply ]

The Killers were definitely not in the same class with those acts. I'd tend to agree, as I suspect this band is an late 00's flash-in-the-pan, but time will tell. [ Reply ]
Marley Dec 02, 2009 - 13:26	These guys suck so much I wonder why RP would even play them. It's way below the usual standards of quality. I caught them on Later and they suck even more live. The lead singer looks like a pretentious douche. Oh well, good time to take a break until the song is over. *DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed in this post are only the opinion of the poster and in no way reflects the opinions of RP or other fellow listeners .
