Acrobat - U2

Don’t believe what you hear

Don’t believe what you see

If you just close your eyes

You can feel the enemy

When I first met you girl

You had fire in your soul

What happened your face

Of melting in snow?

Now it looks like this

And you can swallow

Or you can spit

You can throw it up

Or choke on it

And you can dream

So dream out loud

You know that your time is coming 'round

Don’t let the bastards grind you down

No nothing makes sense

Nothing seems to fit

I know you’d hit out

If you only knew who to hit

And I’d join the movement

If there was one I could believe in

Yeah I’d break bread and wine

If there was a church I could receive in

Cos I need it now

To take a cup

To fill it up

To drink it slow

I Can’t let you go

And I must be

An acrobat

To talk like this

And act like that

And you can dream

So dream out loud

Don’t let the bastards grind you down

What are we doing to do now it’s all been said?

No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read

And I must be

An acrobat

To talk like this

And act like that

And you can dream

So dream out loud

And you can find

Your own way out

You can build

And I can will

And you can call

I can’t wait until

You can stash

And you can seize

In dreams begin

Responsibilities

And I can love

And I can love

I know that the tide is turning round
