Lyrics of “Caution” by The Killers

And there is nothing

I want to

There is nothing

I wwouldn't give

There is nothing

Come my way

Let me introduce you

To the featherweight queen

She's got Hollywood eyes

But you can't shoot what she's seen

Her momma was a dancer

And that's all that she knew

'Cause when you live in the desert

It's what pretty girls do

I'm throwing caution

What's it gonna be?

Tonight the winds of change are blowing wild and free

If I don't get out

Out of this town

I just might be the one who finally burns it down

I'm throwing caution

I'm throwing caution

Never had a diamond

On the sole of her shoes

Just blacktop white trash

Straight out of the news

Doesn't like birthdays

They remind her of why

She can go straight from zero

To the Fourth of July

I'm throwing caution

What's it gonna be?

Tonight the winds of change are coming over me

If I don't get out

Out of this town

I just might be the one who finally burns it down

I'm throwing caution

I'm throwing caution

I'm throwing caution

I'm throwing caution

'Cause it's some kind of sin

To live your whole life

On a might've been

I'm ready now

     Hi Frisco is a duo in the UK, so they may not be aware that many residents in the San Francisco Bay Area involuntarily wince upon hearing the nickname Frisco. We will live. The duo is formed of Henry Eastham and Felix Rashman. While talking about their single, “The War,” Eastman said:

  I started writing this song whilst trying to come to terms with a point in my life where there was a lot of change and no defined path of what to do or where to be for the first time in a long time. The overwhelming amount of creative freedom, the daydreamed abstract ideas, trying to hone it into something that made some kind of sense, to us at least. The importance of making mistakes, the struggles of life, and all that comes with growing up builds to the outro, which swirls off into a serenity of almost helpless indifference to all that came before as the journey continues.
