Where the Streets Have No Name
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
With or Without You
Bullet the Blue Sky
Running to Stand Still
Red Hill Mining Town
In God's Country
Trip Through Your Wires
One Tree Hill
Exit
Mothers of the Disappeared
Where the Streets Have No Name
[Verse 1]
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name (Ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 2]
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name, yeah (Oh, huh)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and 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 (Ah, ha)

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
Ah, 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
[Verse 1]
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

[Verse 2]
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

[Chorus]
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

[Verse 2]
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
I believe in Kingdom Come
Then all the colours bleed into one
Bleed into one
But, yes, I'm still runnin'
You broke the bonds
And loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

[Chorus]
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

[Outro]
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for

With or Without You
[Verse 1]
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I'll wait for you

[Verse 2]
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I'll wait without you

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you

[Verse 3]
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all, but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you, ah-hah
I can't live
With or without you

[Refrain]
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

[Verse 4]
My hands are tied
My body bruised
She got me with
Nothing to win and nothing left to lose

[Refrain]
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you, oh-oh
I can't live
With or without you

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Chorus]
With or without you
With or without you, oh-oh
I can't live with or without you
With or without you
[Outro]
Hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh

Bullet the Blue Sky
[Verse 1]
In the howlin' wind
Comes a stingin' rain
See it drivin' nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Runnin' scared in the valley below

[Chorus]
Whoo, whooo
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

[Verse 2]
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
We see them burnin' crosses
See the flames, higher and higher

[Chorus]
Whoo, whooo
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue, oh
Bullet the blue, oh

[Verse 3]
So 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 peelin' off those dollar bills
Slappin' 'em down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes

[Verse 4]
Across the mud huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
And take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you can hear the city groan
Outside, it's America
Outside, it's America
America
[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
Howling the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America

Running to Stand Still
[Verse 1]
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lyin' still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're goin'
Step on a steam train
Step out of the drivin' rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night

[Chorus]
Singing ah, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day

[Verse 2]
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 the poison stream
Then I floated out of here

[Chorus]
Singing, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day

[Bridge]
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo

[Verse 3]
She runs through the streets
With eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
She brings me white golden pearls
Stolen from the sea
She is raging, she is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes

[Chorus]
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still

[Harmonica Solo]

Red Hill Mining Town
[Verse 1]
From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, see the faces frozen still
Against the wind

[Verse 2]
The seam is split
The coal-face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back

[Verse 3]
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labour day
Has come and gone

[Pre-Chorus]
They leave me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on

[Chorus]
Hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to

[Verse 4]
The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night

[Verse 5]
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you keep me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town
See the lights go down on

[Chorus]
I’m hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
On to

[Bridge]
We scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
And we stooped so low
To reach so high
[Verse 6]
A link is lost
The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
(Like a hunter, child)

[Chorus]
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Love, slowly stripped away
Love has seen its better day
Hangin' on
Lights go out on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill Town
Lights go down on Red Hill

In God's Country
[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Set me alight, we'll punch a hole right through the night
Every day the dreamers die to see what's on the other side
She is liberty, and she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold

[Chorus]
Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Naked flame, she stands with naked flame
I stand with sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
Love, love

Trip Through Your Wires
[Verse 1]
In the distance, she saw me comin' round
I was callin' out, I was callin' out
Still shakin', 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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, I need, oh, I need
Oh, I need, oh, I need it
Oh, I need, oh, I need
All I need, yeah, yeah!

[Verse 3]
Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a raincloud
In the desert sky
In the distance
She saw me comin' round
I was callin' out
I was callin' out

One Tree Hill
[Verse 1]
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy, love

[Verse 2]
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone on the face of earth

[Verse 3]
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

[Chorus]
You run like a river on at the sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

[Verse 4]
And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone
Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it

[Verse 5]
Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground

[Chorus]
It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea

[Verse 6]
I don't believe in fancy roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful

[Verse 7]
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill

[Chorus]
We run like a river runs to the sea
We run like a river to the sea

[Post-Chorus]
And when it's rainin', rainin' hard
That's when the rain will break the heart
Rainin', rainin' hard
Rainin' in your heart
Rainin', rain into
Rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rain into your
Rainin', ooh, ooh, yeah
Feel it

[Outro]
Oh, great ocean
Oh, great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea

Exit
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
His head, it felt heavy
As he cut across the land
A dog started cryin'
Like a broken-hearted man
At the howling wind
At the howling wind

[Chorus]
He went deeper into black
Deeper into white
He could see the stars shine
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing, healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny, shiny from above
A hand in the pocket
Finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
And his heart he could feel was beating
Beating, beating, beating
Oh, my love, oh, my love
Oh, my love, oh, my love

[Post-Chorus]
My love
So hands that build
Can also pull down
The hands of love

[Instrumental]

Mothers of the Disappeared
[Verse 1]
Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

[Verse 2]
In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeats
We hear their heartbeats

[Verse 4]
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears
In the rainfall
