    "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"

    Evita, 1976

    It won't be easy

    You'll think it strange

    When I try to explain how I feel

    That I still need your love

    After all that I've done

    You won't believe me

    All you will see

    Is a girl you once knew

    Although she's dressed up to the nines

    At sixes and sevens with you

    I had to let it happen

    I had to change

    Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

    Looking out of the window

    Staying out of the sun

    So I chose freedom

    Running around trying everything newBut nothing impressed me at all

    I never expected it too

    Don't cry for me Argentina

    The truth is I never left you

    All through my wild days

    My mad existence

    I kept my promise

    Don't keep your distance

    And as for fortune and as for fame

    I never invited them in

    Though it seemed to the world

    They were all I desired

    They are illusions

    They're not the solutions

    They promise to be

    The answer was here all the time

    I love you and hope you love me

    Don't cry for me Argentina

    Don't cry for me Argentina

    The truth is I never left you

    All through my wild days

    My mad existence

    I kept my promise

    Don't keep your distance

    Have I said too much?

    There's nothing more I can think of to say to

    you

    But all you have to do

    Is look at me to know

    That every word is true

    Don't cry for me Argentina

    "A New Argentina"

    Evita, 1976

    [Peron:]

    Dice are rolling, the knives are out

    Would-be presidents are all around

    I don't say they mean harm

    But they'd each give an arm

    To see us six feet underground

    [Eva:]

    It doesn't matter what those morons say

    Our nation's leaders are a feeble crewThere's only twenty of them anyway

    What is twenty next to millions who

    Are looking to you?

    All you have to do is sit and wait

    Keeping out of everybody's way

    We'll ... you'll be handed power on a plate

    When the ones who matter have their sayAnd with chaos installed

    You can reluctantly agree to be called

    [Peron:]

    There again we could be foolish not to quit

    while we're ahead

    For distance lends enchantment, and that is

    why

    All exiles are distinguished, more important,

    they're not dead

    I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay

    [Eva:]

    This is crazy defeatist talk

    Why commit political suicide, there's no risk

    There's no call for any action at all

    When you have unions on your side

    [Workers:]

    A new Argentina, the chains of the masses

    untied

    A new Argentina, the voice of the people

    Cannot be denied

    [Eva:]

    There is only one man who can lead any

    workers' regime

    He lives for your problems, he shares yourideals and your dream

    He supports you, for he loves you

    Understands you, is one of you

    If not, how could he love me?

    [Workers:]

    A new Argentina, the workers' battle song

    A new Argentina, the voice of the peopleRings out loud and long

    [Eva:]

    Now I am a worker, I've suffered the way that

    you do

    I've been unemployed, and I've starved and I've

    hated it too

    But I found my salvation in Peron, may the

    nation

    Let him save them as he saved me

    [All:]

    A new Argentina, a new age about to begin

    A new Argentina, we face the world together

    And no dissent within

    [Peron:]

    There again we could be foolish not to quit

    while we're ahead

    I can see us many miles away, inactive

    Sipping cocktails on a terrace, taking breakfast

    in bed

    Sleeping easy, doing nothing, it's attractive

    [Eva:]

    Don't think I don't think like you

    I often get those nightmares too

    They always take some swallowing

    Sometimes it's very difficult to keepmomentum

    If it's you that you are following

    Don't close doors, keep an escape clause

    Because we might lose the Big Apple

    But would I have done what I did

    If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known

    We would take the country

    [Eva:]

    Peron has resigned from the army and this we

    avow

    The descamisados are those he is marching

    with now

    He supports you, for he loves you

    Understands you, is one of you

    If not, how could he love me?

    [All:]

    A new Argentina, the chains of the masses

    untied

    A new Argentina, the voice of the people

    Cannot be, and must not be denied

    [Che:]

    How annoying that they have to fight electionsfor their cause

    The inconvenience, having to get a majority

    If normal methods of persuasion fail to win

    them applause

    There are other ways of establishing authority

    [All:]

    A new Argentina, the chains of the massesuntied

    A new Argentina, the voice of the people

    Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be

    denied.

    Red and Black (The ABC Cafe)

    Les Miserables

    [Combeferre:]

    At Notre Dame

    The sections are prepared!

    [Feuilly:]

    At rue de Bac

    They're straining at the leash!

    [Courfeyrac:]

    Students, workers, everyoneThere's a river on the run

    Like the flowing of the tide

    Paris coming to our side!

    [Enjolras:]

    The time is near...

    So near.. it's stirring the blood in their veins!

    And yet beware...Don't let the wine go to your brains!

    For the army we fight is a dangerous foe

    With the men and the arms that we never can

    match

    Oh, it's easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies

    But the national guard will be harder to catch.

    We need a sign

    To rally the people

    To call them to arms

    To bring them in line!

    [Marius enters.]

    Marius, you're late.

    [Joly:]

    What's wrong today?

    You look as if you've seen a ghost.

    [Grantaire:]

    Some wine and say what's going on!

    [Marius:]

    A ghost you say... a ghost maybe

    She was just like a ghost to me

    One minute there, and she was gone!

    [Grantaire:]

    I am agog!I am aghast!

    Is Marius in love at last?

    I have never heard him `ooh' and `aah'

    You talk of battles to be won

    But here he comes like Don Ju-an

    It's better than an o-per-a!

    [Enjolras:]It is time for us all

    To decide who we are...

    Do we fight for the right

    To a night at the opera now?

    Have you asked of yourselves

    What's the price you might pay?

    Is it simply a game

    For rich young boys to play?

    The color of the world

    Is changing

    Day by day...

    Red - the blood of angry men!

    Black - the dark of ages past!

    Red - a world about to dawn!

    Black - the night that ends at last!

    [Marius:]

    Had you been there tonight

    You might know how it feels

    To be struck to the bone

    In a moment of breathless delight!

    Had you been there tonight

    You might also have known

    How the world may be changed

    In just one burst of light!

    And what was right

    Seems wrong

    And what was wrong

    Seems right...

    [Grantaire:]

    Red...

    [Marius]

    I feel my soul on fire!

    [Grantaire:]Black...

    [Marius:]

    My world if she's not there...

    [All:]

    Red...

    [Marius:]

    The color of desire!

    [All:]

    Black...

    [Marius:]

    The color of despair!

    [Enjolras:]Marius, you're no longer a child

    I do not doubt you mean it well

    But now there is a higher call

    Who cares about your lonely soul

    We strive toward a larger goal

    Our little lives don't count at all!

    [All:]Red - the blood of angry men!

    Black - the dark of ages past!

    Red - a world about to dawn!

    Black - the night that ends at last!

    Do You Hear the People Sing

    Les Miserables

    [Enjolras:]

    Do you hear the people sing?

    Singing a song of angry men?

    It is the music of a people

    Who will not be slaves again!

    When the beating of your heart

    Echoes the beating of the drums

    There is a life about to start

    When tomorrow comes!

    [Combeferre:]

    Will you join in our crusade?

    Who will be strong and stand with me?

    Somewhere beyond the barricade

    Is there a world you long to see?

    [Courfeyrac:]

    Then join in the fightThat will give you the right to be free!!

    [All:]

    Do you hear the people sing?

    Singing a song of angry men?

    It is the music of a people

    Who will not be slaves again!

    When the beating of your heart

    Echoes the beating of the drums

    There is a life about to start

    When tomorrow comes!

    [Feuilly:]

    Will you give all you can give

    So that our banner may advance

    Some will fall and some will liveWill you stand up and take your chance?

    The blood of the martyrs

    Will water the meadows of France!

    [All:]

    Do you hear the people sing?

    Singing a song of angry men?

    It is the music of a peopleWho will not be slaves again!

    When the beating of your heart

    Echoes the beating of the drums

    There is a life about to start

    When tomorrow comes

    The Last Night of the World

    Miss Saigon

    In a life where nothing seems real

    It's telling me

    To hold you tight

    And dance

    Like it's the last night

    Of the world

    [Chris:]

    On the other side of the earth

    There's a place where life still has worth

    I will take you

    [Kim:]

    I'll go with you

    [Chris:]You won't believe all the things you'll see

    I know 'cause you'll see them all with me

    If we're together, that's when

    We'll hear it again

    A song

    A crazy soundA lonely sound

    A cry that tells us

    Love goes on and on

    Played on a solo saxophone

    It's telling me

    To hold you tight

    And dance

    Like it's the last night

    Of the world

    [Kim:]

    Dreams

    Were all I ever knew

    [Chris:]

    Dreams

    Blame Canada

    South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

    Times have changed,

    Our kids are getting worse.

    They won't obey their parents,

    They just want to fart and curse!

    Should we blame the government?

    Or blame society?

    Or should we blame the images on TV? No!

    Blame Canada, blame Canada,

    It seems that everythings gone wrong

    Since Canada came along!Blame Canada, blame Canada.

    We need to form a full assault,

    Its Canada s fault!

    Don't blame yourself for your son Stan

    He saw the darn cartoon

    And now he's off to join the Klan!

    And my boy Eric once

    Had my picture on his shelf But now when he sees me, he tells me to fuck

    myself!

    Blame Canada, blame Canada,

    Because when Canada is gone,

    Therell be no more Celine Dion!

    Blame Canada, blame Canada,

    Theyre not even a real country anyway.

    Kenny could've been a doctor or a lawyer, it's

    true

    Instead he burned up like a piggy on the

    barbecue.

    Should we blame the matches? Should we

    blame the fire?

    Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?

    Heck no! Blame Canada, Blame Canada

    Watch the complete version here

    With all their Hockey hullabaloo, and their bitchAnne Murray, too.

    Blame Canada, Blame Canada

    All I can say is oy gevalt , it's Canada's fault

    Everybody!

    Blame Canada, Blame Canada!

    With Brain Adams' beady eyes,

    Margret Trudeau's friendly thighs

    Blame Canada, shame on Canada!For the smut we must stop!

    The trash we must smash!

    The laughter and fun,

    This will be undone!

    We must blame them and cause a fuss

    Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

    So Long to Ya, 2010

    JibJab

    We arrived in 09 on a rainbow of hope,

    But two thousand ten blew it all up in smoke.

    From Tea Party rallies,

    To banks going broke,

    So long to ya two thousand ten!

    You brought no jobs despite all my spending!

    We passed health care, they shouted, Repeal!

    So old Joe went on national TV, and said,

    ITS A REAL BIGFU*KIN DEAL!

    Earthquakes, volcanoes,

    Bond bailouts in Greece,

    That well from BP gushed for 12 fu*k in weeks!

    From Mosques at Ground Zero,

    To damn Wikileaks,So long to ya, two thousand ten.

    I passed finance reform, placed a justice,

    Yet, my ratings they plunged through the floor.

    I got Rangel, McChrystal and Karzai,

    And no credit for ending a war!

    Dont ask, Dont Tell,

    Palin, Beck, Jihad Jane,

    Michelle taking sh*t cuz she whizzed off to

    Spain!

    Oh, two thousand ten, we cant wait for you,

    To jet like that guy from Jet Blue!

    They shellacked us real good in the mid-terms.We were so sad when Rahm said Goodbye

    Russian spies, Times Square bombs,

    Immigration,

    California just wants to get high!

    Inherited wars, and mountains of debt,

    Gridlocked politicians and nuclear threats,

    As President that seems to be what you get,Thats why I want one -

    He only wants one-

    Just give me a damn cigarette!

    So long to two thousand ten!

    Defying Gravity

    Wicked

    [Glinda:]

    Elphaba - why couldn't you have stayed calm

    for once,

    instead of flying off the handle!

    I hope you're happy!

    I hope you're happy now

    I hope you're happy how you

    Hurt your cause forever

    I hope you think you're clever!

    [Elphaba:]

    I hope you're happy

    I hope you're happy, too

    I hope you're proud how you

    Would grovel in submission

    To feed your own ambition

    [Both:]So though I can't imagine how

    I hope you're happy right now

    [Glinda:]

    Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:

    You can still be with the Wizard

    What you've worked and waited for

    You can have all you ever wanted:

    [Elphaba:]

    I know:

    But I don't want it -

    No - I can't want it

    Anymore:

    Something has changed within me

    Something is not the same

    I'm through with playing by the rules

    Of someone else's game

    Too late for second-guessing

    Too late to go back to sleep

    It's time to trust my instincts

    Close my eyes: and leap!

    It's time to try

    Defying gravity

    I think I'll tryDefying gravity

    And you can't pull me down!

    [Glinda:]

    Can't I make you understand?

    You're having delusions of grandeur:

    [Elphaba:]I'm through accepting limits

    'cause someone says they're so

    Some things I cannot change

    But till I try, I'll never know!

    Too long I've been afraid of

    Losing love I guess I've lost

    Well, if that's love

    It comes at much too high a cost!

    I'd sooner buy

    Defying gravity

    Kiss me goodbye

    I'm defying gravity

    And you can't pull me down:

    Glinda - come with me.

    Think of what we could do: together.

    Unlimited

  • 8/3/2019 WSC 2012 Music Selections Lyrics

    15/35

    Together we're unlimited

    Together we'll be the greatest team

    There's ever been

    Glinda -

    Dreams, the way we planned 'em

    [Glinda:]

    If we work in tandem:

    [Both:]

    There's no fight we cannot win

    Just you and I

    Defying gravityWith you and I

    Defying gravity

    [Elphaba:]

    They'll never bring us down!

    Well? Are you coming?

    [Glinda:]I hope you're happy

    Now that you're choosing this

    [Elphaba:]

    You too

    I hope it brings you bliss

    [Both:]

    I really hope you get it

    And you don't live to regret it

    I hope you're happy in the end

    I hope you're happy, my friend:

    [Elphaba:]

    So if you care to find me

    Look to the western sky!

    As someone told me lately:

    Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!

    And if I'm flying solo

    At least I'm flying free

    To those who'd ground me

    Take a message back from me

    Tell them how I am

    Defying gravity

    I'm flying high

    Defying gravity

    And soon I'll match them in renown

    And nobody in all of OzNo Wizard that there is or was

    Is ever gonna bring me down!

    [Glinda:]

    I hope you're happy!

    [Citizens of Oz:]

    Look at her, she's wicked!Get her!

    [Elphaba:]

    Bring me down!

    [Citizens of Oz:]

    No one mourns the wicked

    So we've got to bring her

    [Elphaba:]

    Ahhh!

    I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General

    The Pirates of Penzance, 1879

    I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

    I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

    I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical

    From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

    I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,

    I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,

    About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,

    (Lot o news Ah!)

    With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

    I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:

    In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

    I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

    I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;

    I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,

    I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,

    In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,

    I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!

    Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,

    (Din afore, din afor e Ah!)

    And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

    Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,

    And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:

    In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

    I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

    In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin,"

    When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,

    When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,

    And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat,"

    When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,

    When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery

    In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy

    (Ooh, strategy Strategy? Bat -a-gee? Rat-a-gee? Ah, I ve got it!)

    You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

    For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,

    Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;

    But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

    I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

    Prologue/ Tradition

    Fiddler on the Roof, 1964

    (Tevye)

    "A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every

    one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his

    neck. It isn't easy. You may ask, why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous? We stay because

    Anatevka is our home... And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you

    in one word... Tradition."

    Tradition, tradition... tradition

    Tradition, tradition... tradition

    (Tevye)

    "Because of our traditions, we've kept our balance for many, many years. Here in Anatevka we have

    traditions for everything... how to eat, how to sleep, even, how to wear clothes. For instance, we

    always keep our heads covered and always wear a little prayer shawl... This shows our constant

    devotion to God. You may ask, how did this tradition start? I'll tell you - I don't know. But it's a

    tradition... Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do."

    (Tevye & Papas)Who day and night

    Must scramble for a living

    Feed the wife and children

    Say his daily prayers

    And who has the right

    As master of the house

    To have the final word at home?

    (All)

    The papa, the papas... tradition

    The papa, the papas... tradition

    (Golde & Mamas)

    Who must know the way to make a proper

    home

    A quiet home, a kosher home

    Who must raise a family and run the home

    So papa's free to read the holy book?

    (All)

    The mama, the mama... tradition

    The mama, the mama... tradition

    (Sons)

    At three I started Hebrew school

    At ten I learned a trade

    I hear they picked a bride for me

    I hope... she's pretty

    (All)

    The sons, the sons... tradition

    "And in the circle of our little village, we have

    always had our special types. For instance,

    Yente, the matchmaker..."

    (Yente)"Avram, I have a perfect match for your son. A

    wonderful girl."

    (Avram)

    "Who is it?"

    (Yente)

    "Ruchel, the shoemaker's daughter."

    (Avram)

    "Ruchel? But she can hardly see. She's almost

    blind."

    (Yente)

    "Tell the truth, Avram, is your son so much to

    look at? The way she sees and the way he looks,

    it's a perfect match."

    (Tevye)

    "And Nahum, the beggar..."

    (Beggar)

    "Alms for the poor, alms for the poor..."

    (Lazar)

    "One kopek? Last week you geve me two

    kopeks."

    (Lazar)

    "I had a bad week."

    (Beggar)

    "So, if you had a bad week, why should I

    suffer?"

    (Tevye)

    "And most important, our beloved Rabbi..."

    (Mendel)

    "Rabbi, may I ask you a question?"

    (Rabbi)

    "Certainly, my son."

    (Mendel)

    "Is there a proper blessing for the Tsar?"

    (Rabbi)

    "A blessing for the tsar? Of course. May God

    bless and keep the Tsar... far away from us!"

    (Tevye)

    "And among ourselves, we get along perfectly

    well. Of course, there was the time when he

    sold him a horse, but delivered a mule, but

    that's all settled now. Now we live in simple

    peace and harmony and..."

    (1st Man)

    "It was a horse."

    (2nd Man)"It was a mule."

    (Chorus)

    Horse!

    Mule!

    Horse!

    Mule!

    Tradition, tradition... traditionTradition, tradition... tradition

    (Tevye)

    "Tradition. Without our traditions, our lives

    would be as shaky as... as a fiddler on the

    roof!"

    I hear those things are awfully loud...

    It glides as softly as a cloud.

    Is there a chance the track could bend?

    Not on your life, my Hindu friend.

    What about us brain-dead slobs?

    You'll all be given cushy jobs.

    Were you sent here by the devil?

    No, good sir, I'm on the level.

    The ring came off my pudding can.

    Take my pen knife, my good man.

    I swear it's Springfield's only choice...

    Throw up your hands and raise your voice!

    Monorail!

    My Eyes

    Dr. Horribles Sing -Along Blog

    HORRIBLE:

    Any dolt with half a brain

    Can see that humankind has gone insane

    To the point where I dont know if Ill upset the status quo

    If I throw poison in the water main.

    Listen close to everybodys heart,

    And hear that breaking sound.

    Hopes and dreams are shattering apart,

    And crashing to the ground.

    I cannot believe my eyesHow the worlds filled with filth and lies

    But its plain to see evil inside of me

    Is on the rise.

    PENNY:

    Look around,

    Were living with the lost and found.

    Just when you feel youve almost drowned,

    You find yourself on solid ground.And you believe theres good in everybodys heart,

    Keep it safe and sound

    With hope you can do your part

    To turn a life around.

    I cannot believe my eyes,

    Is the world finally growing wise?

    Because it seems to me some kind of harmony

    Is on the rise.

    HORRIBLE: Anyone with half a brain

    PENNY: Take it slow

    HORRIBLE: Could spend their whole life howling in pain

    PENNY: He looks at me and seems to know

    HORRIBLE: Because the dark is everywhere and

    PENNY: The things that I m afraid to show

    HORRIBLE: Penny doesnt seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain

    PENNY: And suddenly I feel this glow

    HORRIBLE: Listen close to everybody s heart

    The Times They Are A -Changin'

    Bob Dylan

    Come gather 'round people

    Wherever you roam

    And admit that the waters

    Around you have grown

    And accept it that soon

    You'll be drenched to the bone

    If your time to you

    Is worth savin'

    Then you better start swimmin'

    Or you'll sink like a stoneFor the times they are a-changin'.

    Come writers and critics

    Who prophesize with your pen

    And keep your eyes wide

    The chance won't come again

    And don't speak too soon

    For the wheel's still in spinAnd there's no tellin' who

    That it's namin'

    For the loser now

    Will be later to win

    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come senators, congressmen

    Please heed the call

    Don't stand in the doorway

    Don't block up the hall

    For he that gets hurt

    Will be he who has stalled

    There's a battle outside

    And it is ragin'

    It'll soon shake your windows

    And rattle your walls

    For the times they are a-changin'.

    Come mothers and fathers

    Throughout the land

    And don't criticize

    What you can't understandYour sons and your daughters

    Are beyond your command

    Your old road is

    Rapidly agin'

    Please get out of the new one

    If you can't lend your hand

    For the times they are a-changin'.

    The line it is drawn

    The curse it is cast

    The slow one now

    Will later be fast

    As the present now

    Will later be past

    The order is

    Rapidly fadin'

    And the first one now

    Will later be last

    For the times they are a-changin'.

    and put your helmet on

    engines on

    Check ignition

    and may God's love be with you

    This is Ground Control

    You've really made the grade

    And the papers want to know whose shirts youwear

    Now it's time to leave the capsule

    if you dare

    This is Major Tom to Ground Control

    I'm stepping through the door

    And I'm floating

    in a most peculiar way

    And the stars look very different today

    For here

    Am I sitting in a tin can

    Far above the world

    Planet Earth is blue

    And there's nothing I can do

    Though I'm past

    one hundred thousand miles

    I'm feeling very still

    And I think my spaceship knows which way togo

    Tell my wife I love her very much

    she knows

    Ground Control to Major Tom

    Your circuit's dead,

    there's something wrong

    Can you hear me, Major Tom?Can you hear me, Major Tom?

    Can you hear me, Major Tom?

    Can you....

    Here am I floating

    round my tin can

    Far above the Moon

    Planet Earth is blue

    And there's nothing I can do.

    Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer

    In the hills and highlands

    I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

    And awake in your mouth

    Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray

    Deep beneath the blue waves

    I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound

    And construct a summer home

    Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon

    Shining down on your face

    I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill

    And descend inside of you

    Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse

    Feeling warm in your sand

    I sing about the tide and the ocean surf Rolling in the evening breeze

    Hello Seattle, I am an albatross

    On the docks and your boats

    I sail above your inlets and interstates

    Through the rain and open wind

    Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse

    Throwing beams of bright lights

    Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun

    Taking heed from everyone

    Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer

    In the hills and highlands

    I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

    Take me above your light

    Carry me through the night

    Hold me secure in flight

    Sing me to sleep tonight

    Take me above your light

    Carry me through the night

    Hold me secure in flight

    And drink their martinis dry,

    And they all have pretty children

    And the children go to school,

    Where the Streets Have No Name

    U2

    I wanna run, I want to hide

    I wanna tear down the walls

    That holds me inside

    I wanna reach out

    And touch the flame

    Where the streets have no name

    I want to feel, sunlight on my face

    I see the dust cloud disappear

    Without a traceI want to take shelter

    From the poison rain

    Where the streets have no name

    Where the streets have no name

    Where the streets have no name

    We're still building, then burning down love

    Burning down love, and when I go thereI go there with you, it's all I can do

    The city's a flood and our love turns to rust

    We're beaten and blown by the wind

    Trampled in dust

    I'll show you a place

    High on a desert plain

    Where the streets have no name

    Where the streets have no name

    Where the streets have no name

    We're still building, then burning down love

    Burning down love, and when I go there

    I go there with you, it's all I can do

    Our love turns to rust

    We're beaten and blown by the wind

    Blown by the wind, oh, and I see our love

    See our love turn to rust

    Oh, we're beaten and blown by the wind

    Blown by the wind

    Oh, when I go there, I go there with you

    It's all I can do
