And I have no compass And I have no map And I have no reasons No reasons to get back And I have no religion And I don't know what's what And I don't know the limit The limit of what we've got Zooropa... Don't worry baby, it'll be alright Zooropa... You got the right shoes Zooropa... To get you through the night Zooropa... It's cold outside, but brightly lit Zooropa... Skip the subway Zooropa... Let's go to the overground Get your head out of the mud baby Put flowers in the mud baby Overground No particular place names No particular song I've been hiding What am I hiding from? Zooropa... Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright Zooropa... Uncertainty... can be a guiding light Zooropa... I hear voices, ridiculous voices Zooropa... In the slipstream Zooropa...

Lemon, see-through in the sunlightShe wore lemon, but never in the deepShe's gonna make you cry, she's gonna make you whisper and moanAnd when you're dry, she draws water from the stoneI feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' underAnd I feel like I'm holding on to nothing She wore lemon, to colour in the cold grey nightShe had heaven, and she held on so tight A man makes a picture, a moving pictureThrough the light projected he can see himself up closeA man captures colour, a man likes to stareHe turns his money into light to look for herAnd I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shoreAnd I feel like I'm swimming out to her Midnight is where the day beginsMidnight is where the day beginsMidnight is where the day beginsLemon, see-through in the sunlight A man builds a city, with banks and cathedralsA man melts the sand so he can see the world outside (you're gonna meet her there)A man makes a car (she's your destination) and builds a road to run them on (gotta get to her)A man dreams of leaving (she's imagination) but he always stays behind And these are the days when our work has come asunderAnd these are the days when we look for something other Midnight is where the day beginsMidnight is where the day beginsMidnight is where the day beginsMidnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day beginsMidnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins A man makes a picture, a moving pictureThrough the light projected he can see himself up closeA man captures colour, a man likes to stareHe turns his money into light to look for herLemonShe is the dreamer, she's imagination.Through the light projected, he can see himself up close.

Green light, 7-ElevenYou stop in for a pack of cigarettesYou don't smoke, don't even want toHey now, check your changeDressed up like a car crashThe wheels are turning but you're upside downYou say when he hits you you don't mindBecause when he hurts you you feel aliveOh now, is that what it is Red light, grey morningYou stumble out of a hole in the groundA vampire or a victimIt depends on who's aroundYou used to stay up to watch the advertsYou could lip-synch to the talk showsAnd if you look, you look through me And when you talk it's not to meAnd when I touch you, you don't feel a thing If I could stay, then the night would give you upStay, and the day would keep its trustStay, and the night would be enough Faraway, so close up with the static and the radioWith satellite television you can go anywhereMiami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin And if you listen I can't callAnd if you jump, you just might fallAnd if you shout, I'll only hear youIf I could stay then the night would give you upStay then the day would keep its trustStay with the demons you drownedStay with the spirit I foundStay and the night would be enough Three o'clock in the morningIt's quiet and there's no one aroundJust the bang and the clatter as an angel runs to groundJust the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground

I don't know you And you don't know the half of it I had a starring role I was the bad guy who walked out They said be careful where you aim 'cause where you aim you just might hit You can hold onto something so tight You've already lost it Dragging me down That's not the way it used to be You can't even remember What I'm trying to forget It was a dirty day Dirty day You're looking for explanations I don't even understand If you need someone to blame Throw a rock in the air You'll hit someone guilty From father to son In one life has begun A work that's never done Father to son (And love...it won't last kissin' time) (Repeat 3 times) Get it right There's no blood thicker than ink Hear what I say Nothing's simple as you think Wake up Some things you can't get around I'm in you More so when they put me in the ground These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill... (Repeat and fade until end)

I went out walking Through streets paved with gold Lifted some stones Saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walking Under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn And the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodbye Yeah I went with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering I went drifting Through the capitals of tin Where men can't walk Or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say they want the kingdom But they don't want God in it I went out riding Down that old eight lane I passed by a thousand signs Looking for my own name I went with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you I went out there In search of experience To taste and to touch And to feel as much As a man can Before he repents I went out searching Looking for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his father's right hand I went out walking With a bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one Now Jesus, don't you wait up Jesus, I'll be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers Told her I'd be back by noon Yeah I left with nothing But the thought you'd be there too Looking for you Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering
