Lyrics of Blowback by The Killers
verse
She's reaching for her backpack
Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus
She's seating on a secret
She didn't ask for, no girl ever did
verse
There's a whisper in her heartbeat
She can hear it just enough to keep her alive
But she's breathing in the blowback
There's nothing you can offer she ain't already tried
chorus
But she's breathing in the blowback
Born into poor white trash and always type-cast
But she's gonna break out, boy, you better know that
It's just a matter of time, she fights back
(Breathing again)
Breathing in the blowback
verse
She is sucking on a tic-tac
A good man is a mystery, she's looking for clues
Whoa, you better check that, buddy
'Cause the blacktop's burning up what's left of the fuse
verse
She knows where she comes from
Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again
It's like breathing in the blowback
It's a hijack, now how much sure are you willing to spend?
chorus
But she's breathing in the blowback
Born into poor white trash and always type-cast
But she's gonna break out, boy, you better know that
It's just a matter of time, she fights back
(Breathing again)
Breathing in the blowback
(Breathing in the blowback)
bridge
Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags
(Breathing in the blowback)
She's gonna break out, boy, you better know that
outro
Can you cast out a demon?
Can you wrangle the wind?
Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?
