1. 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, see that 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 cities a flood and our love turns to rust, we're beaten and blown by the wind trampled into 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, 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.
2. I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.
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 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, but yes I'm still running. You broke the bonds, you loosened the chains, you carried the cross and my shame, and 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.
3. 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 gave 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 got me with nothing to win and nothing else 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
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.
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.
6. 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, let's go out on Red Hill, let's go down on Red Hill, let's go down on Red Hill town, let's go down on Red Hill.
7. 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.
8. 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, all I need, all I need, 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.
9. 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 to your heart, raining, to the sea.
Oh great ocean, oh great sea, run to the ocean, run to the sea.
10. 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 wing, 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.
11. 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.
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 that 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 cities a flood and our love turns to rust, we're beaten and blown by the wind trampled into 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, 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.
