| 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 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 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 Can you take me higher ? Will 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 |

| 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 One love We get to share 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 the 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 to raise the dead Have 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 |

| 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 I'd wait Until the end of the world |

| Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses | |||||
| You're dangerous 'cos you're honest
You're dangerous 'cos you don't know what you want Well you left my heart Empty as a vacant lot For any spirit to haunt Hey hey sha la la, hey hey You're an accident Waiting to happen You're a piece of glass Left there on the beach Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to Then you leave me Just out of reach Hey hey sha la la, hey hey sha la la la Who's gonna ride your wild horses ? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea ? Who's gonna ride your wild horses ? Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee ? Well you stole it 'Cause I needed the cash And you killed it 'Cause I wanted revenge Well you lied to me When I asked you to Baby ... can we still be friends ? Hey hey sha la la, hey hey sha la la la Who's gonna ride your wild horses ? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea ? Who's gonna ride your wild horses ? Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee ? The deeper I spin The hunter will sin … for your ivory skin... Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees the river laughing At you and me ... Hallelujah, heavens white rose The doors you open I just can't close Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Your gypsy heart Don't turn around Don't turn around again Don't turn around And don't look back Come on now love Don't you look back Who's gonna ride your wild horses ? Who's gonna drown in your blue sea ? Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses ? Who's gonna take the place of me ? Who's gonna ride your wild horses ? Who's could tame the heart of thee ? |

| 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 right 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 Desperation 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 You don't know if it's fear or desire Danger the 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 We are 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 |

| 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 You '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
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 their grief
(Achtung Baby) Oh yeah It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploded '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 |

| Johnny take 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 You'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 You could 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 moves with it, She moves with it Lift my days, 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 tryin' 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 are 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 tryin' to throw your arms around the world And 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 |

| 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 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 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 heard opera in my head Your love was a light bulb Hanging over my bed Baby, Baby, Baby Baby, Baby, Baby Baby, Baby, Baby light my way, Baby, Baby, Baby Baby, Baby, Baby Baby, Baby, Baby light my way |

| 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 'Cause 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 going 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 And 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 Oh 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 too 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 |
