    ZOOROPA

    Zooropa vorsprung durch technik
    Zooropa be all that you can be
    Be a winner
    Eat to get slimmer

    Zooropa a bluer kind of white
    Zooropa it could be yours tonight
    We're mild and green
    And squeaky clean

    Zooropa better by design
    Zooropa fly the friendly skies
    Through appliance of science
    We've got that ring of confidence

    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

    Don't worry baby, it'll be alright
    You got the right shoes
    To get you through the night
    It's cold outside, but brightly lit
    Skip the subway
    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

    Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright
    Uncertainty can be a guiding light
    I hear voices, ridiculous voices
    Out in the slipstream
    Let's go, let's go overground
    Take your head out of the mud baby

    She's gonna dream up
    The world she wants to live in
    She's gonna dream out loud
    She's gonna dream out loud
    Dream out loud



    BABYFACE

    Watching your bright blue eyes
    In the freeze frame
    I've seen them so many times
    I feel like I must be your best friend
    You're looking fine, so fine, oh my
    Dressed up like a lovely day, oh

    Babyface, babyface
    Slow down child, let me untie your lace
    Babyface, babyface
    Cover girl with natural grace
    How could beauty be so kind
    To an ordinary guy

    Coming home late at night
    To turn you on
    Checking out every frame
    I've got slow motion on my side
    Turning around and around
    With the sound and colour
    Under my control, go
    Round and around, going down
    Dressed up like a lovely day

    Babyface, babyface
    Tin foil hair all tied up in lace
    Babyface, babyface
    Bitter sweet girl won't you give me a taste
    How could beauty be so kind
    To an ordinary guy

    Do do do do do do do do do, do do
    Do do do do do do do do do, do do

    Babyface, babyface
    Slow down child, let me untie your lace
    Babyface, babyface
    Open the door, let me unpack my case
    Babyface, babyface
    You're everywhere child
    You're all over the place
    Babyface, babyface
    You're coming to me from outer-space
    Hou could beauty be so kind
    To an ordinary guy

    LEMON

    Lemon
    See through in the sunlight
    She wore lemon
    But never in the daylight
    She's gonna make you cry
    She's gonna make you whisper and moan
    And when you're dry
    She draws her water from the stone
    And I feel
    Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
    And I feel
    Like I'm holding onto nothing

    She wore lemon
    To colour in the cold grey night
    She had heaven
    And she held on so tight

    A man makes a picture
    A moving picture
    Through the light projected
    He can see himself up close
    A man captures colour
    A man likes to stare
    He turns his money into light to look for her

    And I feel
    Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
    And I feel
    Like I'm swimming out to her

    Midnight is where the day begins
    Midnight is where the day begins
    Midnight is where the day begins

    Lemon
    See through in the sunlight

    A man builds a city
    With banks and cathedrals
    A 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 roads to run them on (You 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 asunder
    And these are the days
    When we look for something other

    Midnight is where the day begins
    Midnight is where the day begins

    A man makes a picture
    A moving picture
    Through the light projected
    He can see himself up close (You're gonna meet her there)
    A man captures colour (She's your destination)
    A man likes to stare (There's no sleeping there)
    He turns his money into light (She's imagination)
    To look for her (Lemon)
    She is the dreamer
    She's imagination (She had heaven)
    Through the light projected
    He can see himself up close (She wore lemon)



    STAY (FARAWAY, SO CLOSE!)

    Green light, Seven Eleven
    You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
    You don't smoke, don't even want to
    Hey now, check your change
    Dressed up like a car crash
    Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
    You say when he hits you, you don't mind
    Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
    Hey babe, is that what it is

    Red lights, gray morning
    You stumble out of a hole in the ground
    A vampire or a victim
    It depends on who's around
    You used to stay in to watch the adverts
    You could lip synch to the talk shows

    And if you look, you look through me
    And when you talk, you talk at me
    And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

    If I could stay
    Then the night would give you up
    Stay and the day would keep its trust
    Stay and the night would be enough
    Faraway, so close
    Up with the static and the radio
    With satelite television
    You can go anywhere
    Miami, New Orleans
    London, Belfast and Berlin

    And if you listen I can't call
    And if you jump, you just might fall
    And if you shout, I'll only hear you

    If I could stay
    Then the night would give you up
    Stay then the day would keep its trust
    Stay with the demons you drowned
    Stay with the spirit I found
    Stay and the night would be enough

    Three o'clock in the morning
    It's quiet and there's no one around
    Just the bang and the clatter
    As an angel runs to ground

    Just the bang
    And the clatter
    As an angel
    Hits the ground



    DADDY'S GONNA PAY FOR YOUR CRASHED CAR

    You're a precious stone
    You're out on your own
    You know everyone in the world
    But you feel alone
    Daddy won't let you weep
    Daddy won't let you ache
    Daddy gives you as much as you can take
    A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
    Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

    A little uptight
    You're a baby's fist
    Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist
    When you see daddy coming
    You're licking your lip
    Nails bitten down to the quick
    A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
    Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
    Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

    You've got a head full of traffic
    You're a siren's song
    You cry for mama
    And daddy's right along
    He gives you the keys to a flamin' car
    Daddy's with you wherever you are
    Daddy's a comfort
    Daddy's your best friend
    Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end
    A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
    Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
    Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

    Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday's alright



    SOMEDAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS

    Some days are dry, some days are leaky
    Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
    Some days take less, but most days take more
    Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor

    Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
    Some days you use more force than is necessary
    Some days just drop in on us
    Some days are better than others

    Some days it all adds up
    And what you got is not enough
    Some days are better than others

    Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
    Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
    Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
    Some days are better than others

    Some days you wake up with her complaining
    Some sunny days you wish it was raining
    Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
    And some days have bouncers and won't let you in

    Some days you hear a voice
    Taking you to another place
    Some days are better than others

    Some days are honest, some days are not
    Some days you're thankful for what you've got
    Some days you wake up in the army
    And some days it's the enemy

    Some days are work, most days you're lazy
    Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
    Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
    Some days are better than others

    Some days you feel ahead
    You're making sense of what she said
    Some days are better than others

    Some days you hear a voice
    Taking you to another place
    Some days are better than others



    THE FIRST TIME

    I have a lover
    A lover like no other
    She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
    And she teach me how to sing

    Shows me colours when there's none to see
    Gives me hope when I can't believe that
    the first time I feel love

    I have a brother,
    When I'm a brother in need
    I spend my whole time running
    He spends his running after me

    When I feel myself goin' down
    I just call and he comes around
    But for the first time I feel love

    My father is a rich man
    He wears a rich man's cloak
    Gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
    Gave me a cup of gold
    He said "I have many mansions
    And there are many rooms to see"
    But I left by the back door
    And threw away the key...
    For the first time
    For the first time
    For the first time
    I feel love



    DIRTY DAY

    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)

    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



    THE WANDERER

    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
