U2 - If You Wear That Velvet Dress Lyrics

Released: March 3, 1997

Songwriter: Adam Clayton Larry Mullen Jr The Edge (Guitarist) Bono

Producer: Flood

Tonight, the moon is playing tricks again
I'm feeling seasick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water

I've been good, cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you?
It's her daylight that gets me through

We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two-year-old
Who just wanted more

[Chorus]
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight, the moon's drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No-one else gonna know
I'm wanting

Sunlight, sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon

It's okay
The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray

[Chorus]

Tonight the moon is a mirror-ball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls

[Chorus]

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.
