"Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"

from Zooropa

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 depends 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 satelite 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
