U2 Luckiest Man In The World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was drinking some wine
And it turned to blood
What's the use of religion
If you're any good?
I know I'm weed killer honey
And you're sugar
But if I'm the prosecution
You'd get away with murder

[Verse 2]
You're ice
I'm water
And with your telescope
I can see further
We're binary code
A one and a zero
You wanted violins
And you got Nero

[Verse 3]
You're gravity
Searching for the ground
You're silence
Searching for a sound
Your heart is aching
Your heart has no home
It's fascinating
But you'd rather be alone

[Chorus]
I'm ripping the stitches
You've been bandaging up
I'm digging the ditches
For relics of your love
Love hears when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world

[Verse 4]
If you're hunger
Well, let me feed it
If your heart is full
I'll be there to bleed it
And happiness is for
Those who don't really need it
You can love me
If you must
But why you always love me
Without trust?

[Chorus] I'm ripping the stitches
You've been bandaging up
I've been digging the ditches
For the relics of your love
Love hears when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
Love's got to be with the weak
Only then love gets the chance to speak
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world

[Post-Chorus]
You didn't want to be

[Bridge]
I, I can't escape myself
I hear you talk
Feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel so much
Feel nothing
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
These golden days go by
Holding the secrets of the sky
Love hears when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
Love's got to be with the weak
Only then love gets the chance to speak
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world

[Post-Chorus]
You didn't want to be

[Outro]
I am alive
Baby, I'm born again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again
