Lyrics

Green light, 7-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 turnin' but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh, is that what it is?
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
Used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch with 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, oh, stay
If I could stay, if I could stay
If I could stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio waves
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
If I could stay, and the day would keep its trust
If I could stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay, and the night would be enough
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet, 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
Written by: Adam Clayton, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
