City of Blinding Lights (2005 live from Milan) Songtext
von U2

The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then, than I do now
Neon heart, day-glo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They′re advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I′m getting ready to leave the ground

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights


Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see
I′ve seen you walk unafraid
I′ve seen you in the clothes you've made
Could you, see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you′re not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time, time, time, time
Time won′t leave me as I am
Time won't take the boy out of this man

Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight

The more you know, the less you feel
Some pray for what others steal
Blessing′s not just for the ones who kneel, luckily

Luckily
Luckily
Blessings, all praises
