Zoo Station

I'm ready Ready for the laughing gas I'm ready Ready for what's next Ready to duck Ready to dive Ready to say I'm glad to be alive I'm ready I'm ready for the push In the cool of the night The wartmth of the breeze I'll be crawling around On my hands and knees She's just down the line ... zoo station Got to make it on time ... zoo station I'm ready I'm ready for the gridlock I'm ready To take it to the street Ready for the shuffle Ready for the deal Ready to let go Of the steering wheel I'm ready Ready for the crush Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright It's alright...it's alright...it's alright...it's alright Hey baby...hey baby...hey baby...hey baby It's alright It's alright Time is a train Makes the future the past Leaves you standing in the station Your face pressed up against the glass I'm just down the line from your love...zoo station Under the sign of your love...zoo station I'm gonna be there...zoo station Tracing the line...zoo station I'm gonna make it on time...make it on time...zoo station Just two stops down the line...zoo station Just a stops down the line...zoo station

Even Better Than The Real Thing

Give me one more chance And you'll be satisfied Give me two more chances You won't be denied Well my heart is where it's always been My head is somewhere in between Give me one more chance Let me be your lover tonight (check it out) You're the real thing Yeah the real thing You're the real thing Even better than the real thing Child... Give me one last chance And I'm gonna make you sing Give me half a chance To ride on the waves that you bring You're honey child to a swarm of bees Gonna blow right through you like a breeze Give me one last dance We'll slide down the surface of things You're the real thing Yeah the real thing You're the real thing Even better than the real thing Child... We're free to fly the crimson sky The sun won't melt our wings tonight Oh now...here she comes Take me higher Take me higher You take me higher You take me higher You're the real thing Yeah the real thing You're the real thing Even better than the real thing Even better than the real thing Even better than the real thing

One

Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you Now you got someone to blame You say One love One life When it's one need In the night It's one love We get to share it It leaves you baby If you don't care for it Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's too late Tonight To drag tha past out Into the light We're one But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come tor raise the dead Havew you come here to play jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same We hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One One.

Until The End Of The World

Haven't seen you in quite a while I was down the hold, just passing time Last time we met was a low-lit room We were as close together as bride and groom We ate the food, we drank the wine Everybody having a good time Except you You were talking about the end of the world I took the money, I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think You led me on with those innocent eyes And you know I love the element of surprise In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart You, you were acting like it was the end of the world In my dream I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim In waves of regret, waves of joy I reached out for the one I tried to destroy You, you said you'd wait until the end of the world. (for wim wenders)

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

Say lonely child Say all the while Say morning child In the morning child Do you want me child Do you want me child Do you want me child And I know you wear the high I owe you the morning And I need all you all the summers in the sand And high we walk when we begin to crawl And I say child, will you never make it know Baby sweet, you on and on And it's suddenly Bono: not too many words. Yeah, not again Bono: is this the chorus? And you walk along... And you're walking And it changes Bono: that's good, hold it now. Baby, sweet talking baby Around...don't turn around and sing Don't turn around We suffer in the sand Don't turn your back When the same is in your song Caledonia Bono: [laughs] something? Bono: what's the verse, again? Lonely, and you choose your heart And you're weaving Don't turn around Turn around again Bono: this is the chorous, yeah. On wilderland Don't turn around The sun ain't gonna shine We no more day be gone I want you now I need you now Like the curls on the trees and the ohhhh child Why...love...you want me child You want a chance, you wanna But you can't I need you girl Don't turn around Don't turn around no more Don't turn around, baby see me more Don't turn around, the sun again is sing you home So, caledonia Caledonia, caledonia Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around... [a second of silence] Bono: try not to do that again.

So Cruel

We crossed the line Who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you It matters to me We're cut adrift But still floating I'm only hanging on To watch you go down...my love I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted The men who love you, you hate the most They pass through you like a ghost They look for you but your spirit is in the air Baby...you're nowhere You say in love there are no rules Sweetheart You're so cruel Desparation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie Her skin is pale like god's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug You say in love there are no rules Sweetheart You're so cruel She wears my love Like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing Her movements something else Oh love Like a screaming flower Love Dying every hour And you don't know if it's fear or desire Danger of a drug that takes you higher? Head of heaven Fingers in the mire Her heart is racing... you can't keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust In a trampled underfoot You say in love there are no rules Sweetheart You're so cruel To stay with you I'd be a fool Sweetheart You're so cruel.

The Fly

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon Y'know I don't see you when she walks in the room It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else They say a secret is something you tell one other person So I'm telling you... child Low voice gospel voice A man will beg love we shine like a A man will crawl burning star On the sheer face of love we're fallin' from Like a fly on a wall the sky.... tonight It's no secret at all It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success Every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief Low voice gospel voice A man will rise love we shine like a A man will fall burning star From the sheer face of love we're fallin' from Like a fly from a wall the sky.... tonight It's no secret at all Oh yeah It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploding 'cosa one man's lie Look I gotta go Yeah I'm running outta change There's a lot of things If I could I'd rearrange.

Mysterious Ways

Johnny toke a walk With your sister the moon Let her pale light in To fill up your room You've been living underground Eating from a can You've been running away From what you don't understand She's slippy Your're sliding down She'll be there When you hit the ground It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways Johnny take a dive With your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things You can't explain To touch is to heal To hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky Better learn how to kneel (...on your knees boy!) She's the wave She turns the tide She sees the man inside the child It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright Lift my days...light up my nights One day you'll look back And you'll see Where You were held how By this love While You could stand There And not move on this moment Follow this feeling It's alright...it's alright...it's alright She moves in mysterious ways It's alright...it's alright...it's alright We move through miracle days Spirit moves in mysterious ways She woves with it She woves with it Lift my days and light up my nights

Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World

6.00 in the morning You're the last to hear the warning You've been trying to throw your arms around the world You've been falling off the sidewalk Your lips move but you can't talk Tryin' to throw your arms around the world I'm gonna run to you...run to you...be still I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will Sunrise like a nosebleed Your head hurts and you can't breathe You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world How far you gonna go Before you lose your way back home? You've been trying to throw your arms around the world I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman be still I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will I dreamed that I saw dali With a supermarket trolley He was trying to throw his arms around a girl He took an open top beetle Through the eye of a needle He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman be still I'm gonna run to you...run to you...woman I will Nothin' much to say I guess Just the same as all the rest Been trying to throw your arms around the world A woman needs a man Like a fish needs a bicycle When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world I'm gonna run to you...run to you I'm gonna run to you...run to you I'm gonna run to you...run to you Woman be still...woman be still Be still...woman be still Woman I will

Ultra Violet (Light My Way)

Sometimes I feel like I don't know Sometimes I feel like checkin' out I want to get it wrong Can't always be strong And love it won't be long... Oh sugar, don't you cry Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes You know I need you to be strong And the day is as dark as the night is long Feel like trash, you make me feel clean I'm in the black, can't see or be seen Baby, baby, baby...light my way (alright now) Baby, baby, baby...light my way You bury your treasure Where it can't be found But your love is like a secret That's been passed around There is a silence that comes to a house Where no one can sleep I guess it's the price of love I know it's not cheap (oh, come on) Baby, baby, baby...light my way (oh, come on) Baby, baby, baby...light my way Oh...ultraviolet... Ultraviolet... Ultraviolet... Ultraviolet... Baby, baby, baby...light my way I remember When we could sleep on stones Now we lie together In whispers and moans When I was all messed up And I had opera in my head Your love was a light bulb Hanging over my bed Baby, baby, baby...light my way (oh, come on) Baby, baby, baby...light my way Ultraviolet... [Repeat 4 times] Baby, baby, baby... Baby, baby, baby... Baby, baby, baby...light my way [Repeat 3 times] Baby, baby, baby...light my way

Acrobat

Don't believe what you hear Don't believe what you see If you just close your eyes You can feel the enemy When I first met you girl You had fire in your soul What happened your face Of melting in snow? Now it looks like this! And you can swallow Or you can spit You can throw it up Or choke on it And you can dream So dream out loud You know that your time is coming 'round ...don't let the bastards grind you down No nothing makes sense Nothing seems to fit I know you'd hit out If you only knew who to hit And I'd join the movement If there was one I could believe in Yeah I'd break bread and wine If there was a church I could receive in 'cos I need it now To take a cup To fill it up To drink it slow I can't let you go And I must be An acrobat To talk like this And act like that And you can dream So dream out loud ...don't let the bastards grind you down What are we doing to do now it's all been said? No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read And I must be An acrobat To talk like this And act like that And you can dream So dream out loud And you can find Your own way out You can build And I can will And you can call I can't wait until You can stash And you can seize In dreams begin Responsibilities And I can love And I can love I know that the tide is turning 'round ...don't let the bastards grind you down

Love Is Blindness

Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me Take my heart Love is blindness In a parked car In a crowded street You see your love Made complete Thread is ripping The knot is slipping Love is blindness Love is clockworks And cold steel Fingers to numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Love is blindness Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh my love Blindness A little death Without mourning No call And no warning Baby...a dangerous idea That almost makes sense Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no one to tell Take the money Honey Blindness Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me Oh my love Blindness.
