Killers - Human Lyrics

Artist: Killers

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

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
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know

Wave good bye, 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 all right
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

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?

Are we human or are we dancer?

Are we human or are we dancer?

    I haven't heard the original but the version that Almighty put out by Belle Lawrence did is great! Denser does make more sense than dancer!

    I'm sorry to correct you but it's 'Dancer'
    try backing up your statement with fact rather than what you've made up in your head.
    Firstly see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... for a quote from the bands official website,
    Secondly, I was at a Killers gig (Newcastle, UK) last Saturday and 'Dancer' was flashed up in lights on the stage behind the band while performing 'Human'
    Thirdly, it's a song with a dance beat, did that not give you a clue?
    My four year old child knew even knew it was 'Dancer'

    It's not dancer or dead sir its denser as in are we human or is there more to us are "denser" then we seem to be. Its a comment on what people believe to be the human excitance and a challenge to the so called human exsitance and the phases "i am only human" it saying that maybe we are more than we give ourselves cerdit for

    The "dead" explanation makes sense as it relates to the rest of the lyrics.

    maybe it is about how the human spirit is being lost to technology; life is virtual reality and we cannot feel emotions or communicate with each other expect through sytems
