Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Earth, sky, scenery
Is she comin' back again?
Men of straw, and snooker hall
Words that build or destroy
Dirt dry, bone, sand, and stone
Barbed wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around in a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
[Verse 2]
And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle, lightning lights up the sky
In cracked streets, trample underfoot
Side-step, sidewalk
I see you stare into space
Have I got closer now behind the face?
[Verse 3]
Oh, tell me, tell me you'll dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through spiral staircase to the higher ground
Slideshow, seaside town
Coca-Cola, football, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio
Written by: Adam Clayton, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
