Lyrics Vertigo (iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Live In Paris / 2015 / Remastered 2021) - U2

Some Spanish lessons for the French
(Uno, dos, tres, catorce!)

Lights go down, it's dark
The jungle is your head and can't rule your heart
A feeling so much stronger than a thought
Your eyes are wide and though your soul it can't be bought
Your mind can wander

Hello, hello (¡Hola!)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
You give me something
I can feel

The night is full of holes
As 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
I can't stand the beats, asking for the cheque
Girl with crimson nails got Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music, swinging to the music
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Hello, hello! (¡Hola!)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
You give me something
I can feel
Ha ha ha ha

Checkmated!
How's the fun?
You made it, yeah!

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

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
Your love is teaching me how
How to kneel
Kneel

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's a rock 'n' roll show
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's a rock 'n' roll show (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And rock 'n' roll saved my life (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You saved my life (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
These three men (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Saved my life (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
On the bass, from the Arden Amara estates
The jazzman 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 Rosemount Avenue, Larry Mullen Jr.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
From Saint Margaret's Park, Malahide
On guitars and a whole pile of shit that even he doesn't understand
The genius of the group, The Edge
Thank you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rock 'n' roll saved our life
