Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some Spanish lessons
Before the prince
[Verse 2]
(Uno, dos, tres, catorce)
[Verse 3]
Lights go down, it's dark
The jungle is your head, can't rule your heart
A feeling's so much stronger than a thought
Your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought
Your mind can wander
[Verse 4]
Hello, hello, hola
We're at a place called Vertigo, dónde está?
It's everything I wish I didn't know
You give me something
I can feel
[Verse 5]
The night is full of holes
'Cause bullets rip the sky of ink with gold
They sparkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance, at least they know
[Verse 6]
I can't stand the beats, asking for the check
Girl with crimson nails got Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music, swinging to the music
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 7]
Hello, hello, hola
I'm at a place called Vertigo, dónde está?
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something
I can feel, ah
Check, baby
[Verse 8]
Oh, this is fun
Your man is mad
[Verse 9]
All of this
All of this can be yours
All of this
All of this can be yours
All of this
All of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt
[Verse 10]
Hello, hello, hola
We're at a place called Vertigo, dónde está?
Lights go down, and all I know
You give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how, how
Your love is teaching me how
How to kneel, kneel
[Verse 11]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 12]
It's a rock and roll show
Oh (Oh)
(Oh, oh) It's a rock and roll show
(Oh, oh) Rock and roll saved my life
(Oh, oh) You saved my life
(Oh, oh) E street band
(Oh, oh) Staying alive
[Verse 13]
On the bass from the Isle de Mar estates
The jazz man of the group
Adam Clayton
On the drums, the man who gave us our first job
And we'll never forget it
We'll never forget it, from Rose Mount Avenue
Larry Mullen, Jr.
Oh (Oh)
From St. Marvin's Park
Malahide, on guitars
And a whole pile of shit that even he doesn't understand
The genius of the group
The Edge
Let it go
[Verse 14]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 15]
Rock and roll saved Ireland
