Viva La Viral Lyrics

[The Killers]
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

[Kelly Clarkson]
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

[Bon Jovi]
Oh, they're halfway there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand
We'll make it, I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
[Empire of the Sun (Bon Jovi)]
Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again?

Thought I'd never see (It's tough)
The love you found in me (For love)
Now it's changing all the time (Someday)
Now it's changing all the time [Kelly Clarkson vocalizing]

[Muse]
Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

[Bon Jovi]
We've gotta hold on
To what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other
And that's a lot
For love
[Kelly Clarkson]
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known
Better than to lean on me
You never thought
Of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
Over the same damn thing

[Muse]
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to
Hold you in my arms

[The Killers]
Like you imagined when you were young

[Kelly Clarkson (hellogoodbye)]
I learned the harder way (It's hard enough)
Because of you (Just to move around)
I will not break (It's hard enough)
[Bon Jovi]
Baby, it's okay

[Empire of the Sun]
Always pushing up that hill searching for the thrill of it

[The Killers]
Higher now than ever before

[Empire of the Sun]
Never looking down, I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

[The Killers]
Let's take it easy now, easy now, watch it go

[Coldplay]
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
