Zooropa
Babyface Numb Lemon
Stay(faraway,so close)
Daddy's
gonna pay for crashed car Some
days are better than others The first
time Dirty day The
wanderer
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've 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
I'm 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
Catching 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
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 got slow motion
on my side
Turning around
and around
With the sound
and colour under my control
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?
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 - see
through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
- never in the daylight
She's gonna make
you cry
She's gonna make
you whisper and moan
But when you're
dry
She draws water
from a stone
I feel like I'm
slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
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 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 --
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
A man makes a car
and builds roads to run them on
A man dreams of
leaving but he always stays behind
[You're gonna meet
her there - she's your destination]
[You gotta get
to her - she's imagination]
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 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
[Gotta meet her
there - she's your destination]
[There's no sleeping
there - she's imagination]
She is the dreamer
- she's imagination
Through the light
projected he can see himself up 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
The 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
Is that what it
is?
Red lights, grey
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
it's not to 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
Far away, so close
Up with the static
and the radio
With satellite
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
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 flaming 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

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 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
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 you 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
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 for the first
time, I feel love
I have a brother
When I'm a brother
in need
I spend my whole
life running
He spends his running
after me
When I feel myself
going 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 key
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 I threw away
the key
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time,
I feel love
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
Because 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 - a dirty day
You look for explanations
- I don't even understand
If you need someone
to blame, throw a rock in the air
You're gonna hit
someone guilty
From father to son
In one life has
begun
A work that's never
done
Father to son
Get it right - there's
no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say
- nothing's as 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
It was a dirty
day - a dirty day
Days, days, days
run away like horses over the hill
Days, days, days
run away like horses over the hill
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
