Are we human?

Some songs you fall in love with the moment you hear it. This was one of 'em.

The killers - a non-ambiguous band with very ambiguous and catchy lyrics.

Initially, the lyrics seem to just stretch out and contain as much direction as a

schizophrenic lemming with a blindfold, but with a tad more introspection they

seem to unveil a deeper meaning - in fact a deeper more poignant cry.

Hell - the lyrics and the melody are just plain awesome!

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line

Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?


Pay my respects to grace and virtue

Send my condolences to good
Hear my regards to soul and romance

They always did the best they could

And so long to devotion
It taught me everything I know

Wave goodbye, wish me well You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?


Will your system be alright

When you dream of home tonight
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?


Are we human or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold

And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

You've gotta let me know
Are we human or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

Are we human or are we dancer?
