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
   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
   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

 Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

   I have climbed highest mountain
   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 in her 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 in 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 colors will bleed into one
   Bleed into one
   Well yes I'm still running

   You broke the bonds and you
   Loosed the chains
   Carried the cross
   Of my shame
   Of my shame
   You know I believed it

   But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
   But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
   But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
   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 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'm waiting 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

   With or without you
   With or without you
   I can't live
   With or without you
   With or without you

 Bullet the Blue Sky

   In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
   See it driving nails
   Into the souls on the tree of pain
   From the firefly, 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
   You 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 colors 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 where the children sleep
   Through the alleys of a quiet city street
   You take the staircase to the first floor
   Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
   As a man breathes into a saxophone
   And through the walls you hear the city groan
   Outside is America
   Outside is America

   Across the field you see the sky ripped open
   See the rain through a gaping wound
   Pounding on 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
   Lying still
   Said I gotta 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, ah la la la de day
   Ah da da da de day
   Ah la la de day

   Sweet the sin
   Bitter 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 de day
   Ha la la la de day
   Ha la la de 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's running to stand...

   Still.

 Red Hill Mining Town

   From father to son
   The blood runs thin
   See 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

   Yeah you leave me holding on
   In Red Hill Town
   See 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

   Yeah you keep me holding on
   In Red Hill Town
   See the lights go down on
   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
   Hold on to

   We'll scorch the earth
   Set fire to the sky
   We stoop 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 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

   Love...slowly stripped away
   Love...has seen its better day

   Hanging on
   The lights go out on Red Hill
   The lights go down on Red Hill
   Lights go down on Red Hill town
   The lights go down on Red Hill

  In God's Country

   Yeah

   Desert sky
   Dream beneath a 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
   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

 Trip Through Your Wires

   In the distance
   She saw me coming 'round
   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
   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

   (All I need...All I need)

   Thunder, thunder on the mountain
   There's a rain cloud in the desert sky
   In the distance she saw me coming 'round
   I was calling out
   I was calling 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 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 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
   Run 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 my heart

   Raining...raining in the heart
   Raining in your heart
   Raining...raining to your heart
   Raining, raining...raining
   Raining to your heart
   Raining...raining in your heart
   Raining in your heart..
   To the sea

   Oh great ocean
   Oh great sea
   Run to the ocean
   Run to the sea

  Exit

   You know he got the cure
   You know 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
   At the howling wind

   He went deeper into black
   Deeper into white
   Could see the stars shining
   Like nails in the night
   He felt the healing
   Healing, healing
   Healing hands of love
   Like the stars shiny shiny
   From above

   Hand in the pocket
   Finger on the steel
   The pistol weighed heavy
   His heart he could feel
   Was beating, beating
   Beating, beating oh my love
   Oh my love, oh my love
   Oh my love

   My love

   Saw the 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 heartbeat
   We hear their heartbeat

   In the trees our sons stand naked
   Through the walls our daughters cry
   See their tears in the rainfall
