Zooropa
 
 

     (what do you want?)
     (what do you want?)

     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 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
     Out 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
     Dream out loud
 

 
 
Babyface
 
 

     Watching 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, oh

     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've got slow motion on my side
     Turning around and around
     With the sound and colour
     Under my control, go
     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

     Do do do do do do do do do... do do...
     Do do do do do do do do do... do do...

     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
     How could beauty be so kind
     To an ordinary guy
 

 
 
Numb
 
 

      Don't move
      Don't talk out of time
      Don't think

      Just fine

Lemon
 
 

      Lemon
      See through in the sunlight
      She wore lemon
      But never in the daylight
      She's gonna make you cry
      She's gonna make you whisper and moan
      And when you're dry
      She draws her water from the stone

      And I feel
      Like I'm slowly, slowly,
      Slowly slipping under
      And 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 the 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
      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 a road 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 assunder
      And these are the days
      When we look for something other

      Midnight is where the day begins
      Midnight is where the day begins
      Midnight is where the day begins
      Midnight is where the day begins

      Midnight is where the day begins
      Midnight is where the day begins
      Midnight is where the day begins
      Midnight is where the day begins
 

A man makes a picture  
A moving picture  
Through the 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  
She is the dreamer  
She's imagination  
Through the light projected  
He can see himself up close    
 
You're gonna meet her there  
She's your destination  
There's no sleeping there  
She's imagination  
Lemon  
  
  
She had heaven  
  
  
She wore lemon  
 
 
 
Stay (Faraway, So 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
     Your 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
     Hey babe, is that what it is

     Red lights, gray morning
     You stumble out of a hole in the ground
     A vampire or a victim
     It depend's 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, you talk at 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

     Faraway, 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
 

 
 
Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car
 
 

     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 flamin' 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...
     [Repete até o final]
 

 
 
Some Days Are Better Than Others
 
 

     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 not 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
     And 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 are 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
 

 
 
The First Time
 
 

     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 time 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 keys 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
     And I threw away the key
     Yeah, I threw away the key
     Yeah, I threw away the key

     For the first time
     For the first time
     For the first time

     I feel love
 

 
 
Dirty Day
 
 

     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
     'cause where you aim you just might hit
     You can hold on to 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
     Dirty day

     You're looking for explanations
     I don't even understand
     If you need someone to blame
     Throw a rock in the air
     You'll hit someone guilty

     From father to son
     In one life has begun
     A work that's never done
     Father to son

     (And love... it won't last kissin' time)
     (And love... it won't last kissin' time)
     (And love... it won't last kissin' time)

     Get it right
     There's no blood thicker than ink
     Hear what I say
     Nothing's 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

     These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
     These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill...
 

 
 
The Wanderer
 
 

     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
