The Joshua Tree Lyrics

WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
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 The city's aflood
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
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
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
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 I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire 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 But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes I'm still running You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Oh my shame
You know I believe it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for WITH OR WITHOUT YOU See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails you make me wait
And I wait without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you With or without you
I can't live
With or without you And you give yourself away My hands are tied
My body bruised, you've got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away With or without you
I can't live
With or without you BULLET THE BLUE SKY 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. Bullet the blue sky 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. Bullet the blue sky Suit and tie 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
Across the tin huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street.
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan.
Outside, is America
Outside, is America
America. See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
Howlin' the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America RUNNING TO STAND STILL 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 fast train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night.
Singing ah, ah la la la de day 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, singing
Ah la la la de day She walks through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway
She brings me white golden pearls
Stolen from the sea. She is ragin'
And the storm blows up in her eyes.
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still. RED HILL MINING TOWN From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, see the faces frozen (still)
Against the wind. The seam is split
The coal-face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back. Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labour day
Has come and gone. They leave me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town.
See the lights go down on 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. The glass is cutU2 - The Joshua Tree - http://motolyrics.com/u2/the-joshua-tree-lyrics.html
The bottle run dry.
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night. We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt.
I can lose myself
You I can't live without. Yeah, you keep me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town.
See the lights go down on 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 We scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
And we stooped so low
To reach so high. A link is lost
The chain undone.
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes like a hunter (child). 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. We see love, slowly stripped away
Our love has seen its better day.
Hangin' on
Lights go down on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill.
The lights go down on Red Hill Town IN GOD'S COUNTRY 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 bows
Like a siren she calls (to me) Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country 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 Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country Naked flame, she stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love TRIP THROUGH YOUR WIRES 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. 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. 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. 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. Oh I need, oh I need
Oh I need, oh I need it.
Oh I need, oh I need
All I need, yeah, yeah! 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 ONE TREE HILL We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars
Carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes You run like a river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea And in the world a heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang - his song a weapon
In the hands of one
though his blood still cries
From the ground It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea I don't believe in painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill We run like a river
Runs to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break the heart Raining...raining in your heart
Raining into your heart
Raining...raining into your heart
Raining, raining...raining
Raining into your heart
Raining...
Raining your heart into the sea Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea EXIT You know he got the cure
But then he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away.
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love. His head it felt heavy
As he came across the land
A dog started cryin'
Like a broken-hearted man
At the howling wind
At the howling wind. 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
Fingering 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. So hands that build
Can also pull down
The hands of love. MOTHERS OF THE DISAPPEARED Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us.
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat. In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears.
Hear their heartbeat, we hear their heartbeat. Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue.
Hear their heartbeats
We hear their heartbeats. In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughter cry
See their tears in the rainfall.
