Bono - Stay lyrics

rate me

Green light, Seven Eleven,<br />

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes.<br />

You don't smoke, don't even want to.<br />

Hey now, check your change.<br />

Dressed up like a car crash<br />

Your wheels are turnin' but you're upside down.<br />

You say when he hits you, you don't mind<br />

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive.<br />

Oh, is that what it is?<br />

<br />

Red lights, grey morning<br />

You stumble out of a hole in the ground.<br />

A vampire or a victim<br />

It depends on who's around.<br />

You used to stay in to watch the adverts<br />

You could lip synch. to the talk shows.<br />

And if you look, you look through me<br />

And when you talk, you talk at me<br />

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing.<br />

<br />

If I could stay, then the night would give you up.<br />

Stay, and the day would keep its trust.<br />

Stay, and the night would be enough.<br />

<br />

Faraway, so close<br />

Up with the static and the radio.<br />

With satellite television<br />

You can go anywhere:<br />

Miami, New Orleans<br />

London, Belfast and Berlin.<br />

<br />

And, if you listen, I can't call.<br />

And, if you jump, you just might fall.<br />

And, if you shout, I'll only hear you.<br />

<br />

If I could stay, then the night would give you up.<br />

Stay, and the day would keep its trust.<br />

Stay with the demons you drowned.<br />

Stay with the spirit I found.<br />

Stay, and the night would be enough.<br />

<br />

Three o'clock in the morning<br />

It's quiet, there's no one around,<br />

Just the bang and the clatter<br />

As an angel runs to ground.<br />

Just the bang and the clatter<br />

As an angel hits the ground.
