Where The Streets Have No Name (5:37)
I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name Hah, Hah, Hah... I want to feel, sunlight on my face, I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name, yeah Oh hon…. Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building, then burning down love, Burning down love And when I go there, I go there with you.... (It's all I can do) The cities -- a flood And our love turns to rust We're beaten an' blown by the wind Trampled in dust I'll show you a place High on a desert plain Yeah Where the streets have no name Oh hon.... Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building, then burning down love, Burning down love And when I go there, I go there with you (It's all I can do) Our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind, Blown by the wind Oh, in a sea of love See our love turn to rust And we're beaten and blown by the wind, Blown by the wind Oh when I go there I go there with you (It's all I can do)
I Still
Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (4:37)
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (4:37) I have climbed highest mountain I have run through the fields Only to be with you, only to be with you I have run, I have crawled I have scaled these city walls, these city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for MmmHm But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire, this burning desire MmmHm I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone MmmHm But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colours will bleed into one Bleed into one, But yes I'm still running You broke the bonds And ya loosed the chains, Carried the cross Of my shame, of my shame You know I believe it (Really) But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for MmmHm But I still haven't found what I'm looking for MmmMmmm But I still haven't found what I'm looking for MmmMmmm Roll away -- everybody say Roll away -- everybody say Roll away, roll, good luck, and pray Roll away, roll, good luck, and pray
With
Or Without You (4:56)
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait -- without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you, ah hah I can't live -- With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she got me with Nothing to win And nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you, oh oh I can't live -- With or without you Ho Ohh Ohh Ohhh Ho Ohh Ohhh Ho Ho Ohh Ohh Ohhh Ho Ohh With or without you With or without you, oh oh I can't live -- With or without you With or without you (Playful quiet...) Hoo Hoo OooOo Hoo Hoo OooOo
Bullet
The Blue Sky (4:32)
In the howling wind, Comes a stinging rain See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly, the red orange glow I see the face of fear, Running scared in the valley below Sky Whoo Ooo Ooohoo Sky Ooo Ooo Ooohoo Bullet the blue sky Sky Bullet the blue sky Sky Bullet the blue Sky Bullet the blue Sky Ahh AhhhhAhh In the locust wind, Comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome You plant a demon seed, You raise a flower of fire I see them burning crosses See the flames, higher and higher Sky Ooo Ooo Ooohoo Sky Ooo Ooo Ooohoo Bullet the blue sky Sky Bullet the blue sky Sky Bully the blue Sky Ahhh, bully the blue Sky Ahhhh Ahh, Ahh, Ahh... Ow! And this guy comes up to me His face red, like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills (Slapping ‘em down) One hundred, two hundred... And I can see those fighter planes... And I can see those fighter planes... Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street We take staircase to the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls we hear the city groan -- Outside it's America Outside it's America America... Our country... Yeah... Our country... Just across the field, I see the sky ripped open, See the rain coming through the gaping wound -- Pelting the women and children, Who run, Into the arms... Of America...
Running
To Stand Still (4:18)
And so she woke up Woke up from where she was lying still Said, "I gotta do something About where we're going..." Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain Maybe run from the darkness in the night Singing Ah, Ah La La La De Day Ah La La La De Day Ah La La De Day Sweet the sin, Bitter the taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I only see one way out You gotta cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice You know I took the poison, from a poison stream Then I floated outta here... Singing Ah La La La De Day Ah La La La De Day Ah La La De Day Ooo OoHooOoo Ooo OoHooOoo Ooo OoHooOoo She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red Under a black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway, she brings me White gold and pearls, stolen from the sea She is raging She is raging, and a storm blows up in her eyes She will Suffer the needle chill She's running to stand Still…
Red
Hill Mining Town (4:52)
From Father to Son The blood runs thin Ooo mmm, see faces frozen (still) against the wind The seam is split The cold face cracked The lines are long There's no goin' back Two hands of steel And heart of stone Our labour day has come and gone And you leave me holding on In Red Hill Town See lights go down on I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to The glass is cut The bottle run dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night We're wounded by fear Injured in doubt I can lose myself You, I can't live without Yeah you keep me holding on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting Hanging on--oo--on All that's left to hold on to On to... And we scorch the earth We set fire to the sky And we stoop so low, To reach so high A link is lost The chain undone We wait all day For night to come And it comes, Like a hunter (child) I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hanging on--oo--on You're all that's left to hold on to Oh Love, Love -- slowly stripped away Love -- has seen it's better day Hanging on –oo--on The lights go out Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Tow-oo-oown The lights go down on Red Hill Town The lights go down on Red Hill Town
Yeah A desert sky Dream beneath the desert sky The rivers run But soon run dry We need new dreams tonight Desert rose Dreamed I saw a desert rose Dress torn in ribbons And in bows Like a siren she calls (to me) Sleep comes like a drug -- In God's Country Sad eyes crooked crosses -- In God's Country Eyeah eah eah ah ah Eyeah eah ahh Set me alight We'll punch a hole right through the night Everyday the dreamers die -- -- See what's on the other side She is Liberty And she comes to rescue me Hope, faith, her vanity But the greatest gift is gold Sleep comes like a drug -- In God's Country Sad eyes crooked crosses -- In God's Country Yeah... Naked flame She stands in a naked flame I stand with sons of Cain Burned by the fire of love Burned by the fire of love Loo-ov-oo-oh-oo-oo-loo-ov-oo-ohhh
Get up Mmmahh Ahhhh Get up Get up No more water In the distance You saw me coming ‘round I was calling out I was calling out Still shaking, Still in pain, You put me back together again I was cold, And you clothed me, honey I was down, And you lifted me, honey Angel, Angel or devil I was thirsty And you wet my lips Get up You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires Hoo Ahh Yes! Woo hoo! Mmm I was broken, bent out of shape I was naked in the clothes you made Lips were dry, throat like rust You gave me shelter from the heat and the dust No more water in the well No more water, "Water..." Angel, Angel or devil I was thirsty And you wet my lips You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires Woo hoo! Yes! All I need All I need All I need All I needed All I needed All I need All I need is -- yeah, yeah Thunder, Thunder on the mountain There's a rain cloud in the desert sky In the distance she saw me coming ‘round I was calling out I was calling out
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy, Love Your sun is so bright it leaves no shadows, Only scars Carved into stone on the face of earth The moon is up and over One Tree Hill We see the sun go down in your eyes You run like a river, on like a sea You run like a river runs to the sea And in the world a heart of darkness, a firezone Where poets speak their heart, then bleed for it MmmHmm Jara sang his song the weapon In the hands of one Though his blood still cries from the ground It runs like a river runs to the sea It runs like a river to the sea I don't believe in painted roses, Or bleeding hearts, While bullets rape the night of the merciful, hahh mmm I'll see you again When the stars fall from the sky And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill We run like a river, run to the sea We run like a river to the sea And when it's raining, Raining hard -- That's when the rain will, Break my heart! Ahh! Raining! Raining in my heart! Raining in your heart! Raining! Rain unto your heart! Baby! Baby! Baby! Rain unto your heart! Baby! Ooo Hoo Hoo... Ooo Hoo Hoo... Mmdhh To the sea....... Oh great ocean, Oh great sea-ah, Run to the ocean... Run to the sea...
Exit (4:13)
You know he got the cure, You know he went astray He used to stay awake, To drive the dreams he had away He wanted to believe In the hands of love... His head it felt heavy, As he cut across the land A dog started crying, like a broken hearted man In the howling wind, at the howling wind He went deeper into black, Deeper into white Could see the stars shine Like nails in the night He felt the healing, healing, healing, Healing hands of love Like the stars that He's shining from above The hand in the pocket The finger on the steel The pistol weighed heavy And his heart he could feel Was beating, beating, beating, Beaten, oh my love, Oh my love, oh my love Oh my love... My love... Saw the hands that build Can also pull down -- Mmm The hands of love...
Midnight, our sons and daughters Were cut down an' taken from us Hear their heartbeat... We hear their heartbeat In the wind, we hear their laughter In the rain, we see their tears, Hear their heartbeat... We hear their heartbeat Oooo OooooOoo Oooo OooooOoo (The) night hangs like a prisoner, Stretched over black and blue Hear their heartbeat... We hear their heartbeat In the trees, our sons stand naked Through the walls, our daughters cry -- See their tears in the rainfall Oooo Ooooo Oooo Ooooo Oooo Ooooo Oooo Ooooo Oooo Ooooo Oooo Ooooo....
