The Fly (Live From The Fleet Center, Boston, MA, USA / 2001)U2

Released: October 30, 2020

[Intro]
You walk out into the sports hall, lights go down
It's a whole different scene
Of light and motion, light and motion
Lights up and motion
It's hard to walk away
When you can have it all
We could have it all

[Chorus]
But love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight
And love, we fall like a burning star
Falling from the sky tonight

[Verse 1]
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
No secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
No secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
No secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child

[Chorus]
That love, we shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky tonight
A man will beg, a man will crawl
On the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

[Verse 2]
No secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
No secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief

[Chorus]
Oh, love, we shine like a burning star
Falling from the sky tonight
A man will beg, a man will crawl
On the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

[Chorus]
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight
A man will beg, a man will crawl
On the sheer face of love like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

[Post-Chorus]
No secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cause of one man's lie
Chick, I gotta go, I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could, I'd rearrange, yeah
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go

[Outro]
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go

[Spoken Outro]
Thanks for coming
Thanks for paying your, you know
Hard-earned dollar on a rock show
Thanks a lot
Thanks for giving us a great life

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
