U2 - PROMENADE

U2 - Promenade - from The Unforgetable Fire

Earth, sky, sea and rain-
is she coming back again-
men of straw-snooker hall-
words that build or destroy-
dirt dry bone sand and stone-
barbed wire fence cut me down-
i'd like to be around-
in a spiral staircase-
to the higher ground-
and I, like a firework, explode-
Roman candle, lighting lights up the sky-

In the cracked streets trampled underfoot-
sidestep, sidewalk-
I see you stare into space-
have I got closer now-
behind the face-

Oh...tell me-
charity dance with me-
turn me around tonight-
up the spiral staircase-
to the higher ground-

slideslow, seaside town, coca-cola-
radio, radio, radio...
