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
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
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
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 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
Where the streets
have no name
Where the streets
have no name
Where the streets
have no name
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
--
I have climbed
the highest mountains
I have run through
the fields
Only to be with
you
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
But I still haven't
found what I'm looking for.
I have kissed honey
lips
Felt the healing
fingertips
It burned like
fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with
the tongue of angels
I have held the
hand of a devil
It was warm as
the night
I was cold as a
stone
But I still haven't
found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't
found what I'm looking for
I believe in the
Kingdom Come
Then all the colours
will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm still
running
You broke the bonds
- you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe
it
But I still haven't
found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't
found what I'm looking for --
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
she makes me wait
And I wait without
you
With or without
you
With or without
you
Through the storm
we reach the shore
You give it all
but I want more
And I wait for
you
With or without
you
With or without
you
I can't live with
or without you
And you give yourself
away
And you give yourself
away
And you give, and
you give
And you give yourself
away
My hands are tied
- my body bruised
She's got me with
nothing to win
And nothing left
to lose
And you give yourself
away
And you give yourself
away
And you give, and
you give
And you give yourself
away
With or without
you
With or without
you
I can't live with
or without you
In the howling
wind comes a stinging rain
See them driving
nails into the souls on the tree of pain
From the fire fly,
a red orange glow
See the face of
fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue
sky
Bullet the blue
sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind
comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled
the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed,
you raise a flower of fire
See them burning
crosses - see the flames higher and higher
Bullet the blue
sky
Bullet the blue
sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
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 peeling
off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
- one hundred, two hundred
And I can see those
fighter planes
And I can see those
fighter planes
Across the mud
huts as the 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
A man breathes
deep into a saxophone
Through the walls
we hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside it's America
And so she woke
up
Woke up from where
she was lying still
Said I got to do
something about where we're going
Step on a steam
train
Step out of the
driving rain
Maybe run from
the darkness in the night
Singing ha la la
la di day
Sweet the sin
Bitter the taste
in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see
one way out
You got to 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 ha la la
la di day
She runs through
the streets
With her eyes painted
red
Under black belly
of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway
she brings me
White gold and
pearls, stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows
up in her eyes
She will suffer
the needle chill
She is running
to stand still
From father
to son the blood runs thin
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
And you leave me
holding on
In Red Hill Town
see the lights go down
I'm hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
- I'm hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
The glass is cut
- 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
Because you keep
me holding on
In Red Hill Town
as the lights go down
I'm hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
- hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
And we scorched
the earth - set fire to the sky
We stooped so low
to reach so high
A link is lost
- the chain undone
We wait all day
for the night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child
I'm hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
- I'm hanging on
We see love slowly
stripped away
Love has seen a
better day
I'm hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
I'm hanging on
You're all that's
left to hold on to
The lights go down
on Red Hill
The lights go down
on Red Hill Town
The lights go down
on Red Hill
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
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
Everyday 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
Burned by the fire
of love
In the distance
she saw me coming down
I was calling out
I was calling out
Still shaking -
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
My lips were dry,
throat like rust
You gave me shelter
From the heat and
the dust
There's no more
water in the well
No more water in
the well
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
Thunder, thunder
on the mountain
There's a rain
cloud in the desert sky
In the distance
she saw me coming down
I was calling out
I was calling out
We turn away
to face the cold enduring chill
As the day begs
the night for mercy
Your 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 to the sea
You run like a
river runs to the sea
And in our 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 love
You know 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
Run like a river
to the sea
And when it's raining,
raining hard
That's when it's
raining in your heart
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 cut across the land
A dog started crying
like a broken hearted man
At the howling
wind, 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 hands of love
Like the stars
shining, shining up above
He put his hands
in the pocket
His finger on the
steel
The pistol weighed
heavy
His heart he could
feel
Was beating, beating,
beating - oh my love
He saw the hands
that build could also pull down
The hands of love
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 heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the trees our
sons stand naked
Through the walls
our daughters cry
See their tears
in the rainfall
