The Blackout (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13. 2018) (Digital U2.com)

C'mon, Berlin
Okay Berlin, we can do this

A dinosaur wonders why it still walks the earth, yeah
A meteor promises it’s not gonna hurt, yeah
Earthquakes always happen when you’re in bed, Fred
The house shakes, maybe it was something I said, Ned

Go easy on me
Easy on me, brother
Go easy on me
Easy on me, now

When the lights go out
If you throw yourself about
In the darkness where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don’t you ever doubt
The light that we can really be

Statues fall, democracy is flat on its back, Jack
We had it all, and what we had is not coming back, Zack
A big mouth says the people they don’t want to be free, for free
The blackout, is this an extinction event, we see?

Go easy on me
Easy on me, brother
Go easy on me
Easy on me, now

When the lights go out
If you throw yourself about
It's the darkness where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don’t you ever doubt
The light that we can really be

When the lights go out
Oh…ha, oh…ha, oh
When the lights go out
Oh…ha, oh…ha, oh
When the lights go out...
 
Blackout, it’s clear
Who you are will appear
Blackout, no fear
So glad that we are all still here…here

When the lights go out, oh, oh
When the lights go out, oh, oh

When the lights go out
If you throw yourself about
It's the darkness where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don’t you ever doubt
The light that we can really be

When the lights go out
Oh…ha, oh… ha, oh
When the lights go out
Oh…ha, oh… ha, oh

When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out

Lights Of Home (Live From Berlin, Nov.13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Show us your light, Berlin
Show us your lights
Show us...gotcha, gotcha

Shouldn’t be here ‘cause I should be dead
I can see the lights in front of me
I believe my best days are ahead
I can see the lights in front of me

Oh Jesus if I’m still your friend
What the hell, what the hell you got for me
Gotta get out from under my bed
To see again the lights in front of me

Hey, I’ve been waiting to get home a long time

Hey, now
Do you know my name?
Hey, now
Where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer
In your eyes I see it
The lights of home
The lights of home

I was born from a screaming sound
I could see the lights in front of me
I thought my head was harder than ground
I could see the lights in front of me

One more push and I’ll be born again
One more road you can’t travel with a friend
Saw a statue of a gold guitar
Bright lights right in front of me

Hey, I’ve been waiting to get home a long time

Hey, now
Do you know my name?
Hey, now
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer
In your eyes I see it
The lights of home
The lights of home

Hey, now
Do you know my name?
Hey, now
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer
In your eyes I see it
In your eyes alone
I see the lights of home

Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could

Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could

Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could

Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
If only you could see

Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself

I Will Follow (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

We're a band from the north side of Dublin
Called the U2, formerly the Hype
This is our new song
I Will Follow

Come on, hey

I Will Follow

I was on the outside when you say
You say you needed me
I was caught at a stop sign
I was blinded I could not see, ha

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
He stops to think, he'll always starts to lie
 
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
You looked through the window of my soul
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow

(This is better)
Hold us up, up
Tonight, we've people from all over the world
Here tonight, we met them outside in the rain
From all over the world come back to see us

Your eyes make a circle
See you when we come in here
Your eyes, your eyes, in your eyes
Yeah your, your eyes...
Oh, oh, oh

If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow

I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
We will, we will... follow

We will follow

Gloria (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

It's not Tuesday night
It's Saturday night and Sunday morning

Two three four..four...four

When I try to sing this song, I
I try to stand up but I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete

Gloria in te domine
Gloria exultate
Oh Lord, Gloria
Oh my Lord, loosen my lips, loosen up

When I try to sing this song, I
I try to get in but I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there, you let me in

Gloria (in te domine)
(Gloria exultate)
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I...I give it to you
I...give it to you
To you
Up, up, up

Beautiful Day (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

The heart is a bloom
It shoots up from the stony ground
But there’s no room
No space to rent in this town

You’re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
You’re not moving anywhere

You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place / Always
Some one that you could lend a hand
In return for grace / Always

It’s a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like
Beautiful day, yeah

On the road
But you got no destination
You’re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over
And it’s been all over you / Always

It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day, yeah

You can touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me now, love
I know I’m not a hopeless case, yeah

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleet clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oilfields at first light and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day, yeah

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I’m not a hopeless case

And what you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now

Beautiful day
Beautiful
Beautiful
Berlin, come on
Berlin
Even in the rain you're beautiful
Look what you built, look at the city you built
Capital city of the stinking world right now

Danke, danke, thank you

[slaneman]

Dirty Day (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)


The last time we, we stood here I... could not sing that song
And you sang it for us, thank you
Thank you for coming back
This is the last night on the experience of innocence tour
Again, thank you, danke, danke

Each of us has a story of how we got here tonight
Larry, Edge, Adam and myself
We grew up on the north side of Dublin in the 1970's
Now Ireland in the 70's wasn't the happiest place
There was The Troubles, North and South
But there were all kinds of troubles on our island
That had nothing to do with Sectarianism
Like no jobs, everyday stuff
Like the troubles in a family home
Sons, with so much to prove taking on their fathers
U2 was our way of getting out from under their shadow
Was our way of saying, I'm not like you
Let me introduce Garvin Evans, Brian Clayton
Larry Mullen Senior, and Bob Hewson
Now my father he...he didn't take me too seriously
'Cause he could see I was doing a very good job of that myself
But he gave me a lot of advice
And I can still hear his voice in my head
Especially when I sing

I don't know you
You don't know the half of it
I had a starring role
As the bad guy who didn't walk out
They say be careful where you aim
'Cause where you aim you just might hit
You can hold on something so tightly
You've already lost it

Dragging me down
It's not the way you used to be
You can't even remember
What I'm trying to forget

On a dirty day
Ha, dirty day
Ow, dirty day

You see Punk Rock was for us something like, electricity
The shock, the danger, the excitement of a whole other world out there
If only my father wasn't in the way
But he wasn't in the way
Looking back I realize he just wanted solid ground for his son
There wasn't much of that about in Dublin in the 70's
You see, Bob thought that to dream was to be disappointed
He didn't want that for me
Tonight I want to thank him for his patience
And more than that I wanna say to my father, I'm sorry

From father to son
In one life has begun
A work that's never done
Father to son

And these days, days, days
Run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away
Like horses over the hill
These days, days, days
Run away like horses over the hill
Like horses

Innocent times for four Irish boys now men
Daring to believe that at the far end of experience
We can still recover that innocence

And you know, it's just great to get out of the house

Zoo Station (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Oh yeah

I’m ready
I’m ready for laughing gas
I'm ready
I’m ready for what's next
Ready to duck, ready to dive
Ready to say,  I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready… I’m ready for the… the push

In the cool of the night
In the warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling around
On my hands and knees

Zoo Station
Zoo Station

I'm ready
I’m ready for the gridlock
I'm ready
To take it to the street
Ready for the shuffle, ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush, oh

Zoo Station
Zoo Station
Oh…oh

Alright alright alright alright alright alright

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

Zoo Station
Zoo Station
Ah...Zoo Station
Ah just down the line
Zoo Station
Our heart out

Oh yeah, I'm ready
Are we ready?
Ready for the ride of your life?
Are we ready for the ride of our life?
Are we ready?

[slaneman]

The Fly (Live From Berlin, Nov.13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

It's no secret that the stars are fallin’ from the sky
No secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I didn’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
I’m telling you…child

Love / Alright
We shine like a burning star
Fallin’ from the sky / A man will rise and a man will fall
Tonight / From the sheer face of love, like a fly from a wall
It’s no secret at all

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

Love
We shine like a burning star
Fallin’ from the sky / A man will rise a man will fall
Tonight / From the sheer face of love, like a fly from a wall
It’s no secret at all

Alright
Achtung babe
C'mon, come
C'mon
Hey, hey

Love
We shine like a burning star
Fallin’ from the sky
Tonight

A man will rise a man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It’s no secret at all, uh-huh

No secret that the stars are fallin' from the sky
The universe exploded ‘cause of one man’s spoken lie
Look, I gotta go
I’m running outta change
There’s a lot of things
If I could I’d rearrange

(C'mon)

What is that?
That is The Edge

[slaneman]

Faraway, So Close! (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Green light, 7-Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but you're upside down

You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh now, is that what it is

Red light, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip-sync with the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay then the night would give you up
If I could stay then the day would keep its trust
If I could stay then the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio waves
Satellite television you can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast, and Berlin

And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump you just might fall
And if you shout I'll only hear you

If I could stay then the night would give you up
If I could stay then the day would keep its trust
If I could stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough

Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh...

Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter as an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground

[slaneman]

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2. com)

You’re dangerous ‘cause you’re honest
You’re dangerous, 'cause you don’t know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey

You’re an accident waiting to happen
You’re a piece of glass left there on the beach
Well you tell me things I know you’re not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna fall at the foot of thee

Well you stole it ‘cause I needed the cash
And you killed it ‘cause I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me ‘cause I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends?

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna fall at the foot of thee

Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
We took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heaven's wide rows
The doors you open
I just can’t close

Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around, you're on the track
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around, and don’t look back
Come on now love, don’t you look back

Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea
Who’s gonna taste your salt water kisses
Who’s gonna take the place of me

Come on now, love
Wild horses, wild. The wild horses
(Bongolese to end)

Elevation (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)


Are you ready to get elevated?
Loved and hated?
Infatuated? Infuriated?
Are you ready to get high?

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
From the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips, eclipse
You elevate my soul

Got no self-control
Digging like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

A star, you look like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can’t sing but I got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Berlin

Love, lift us up out of these blues
Won’t you tell us something true
We believe in you
(Yes we do)

A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Vertigo (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2,com)


Oh yeah
Anyone here ready to walk some Spanish down the hall?
Wanna walk some Spanish down the hall?
Wanna walk some Spanish down the hall?

Uno, (dos, tres, catorce)

Lights go down it’s dark
The jungle is your head
Can’t rule your heart
A feeling so much stronger than
A thought your eyes are wide and
Though your soul, it can’t be bought
Your mind can wander

Hello, hello
Hola
At a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
You give me something I can feel
Feel

The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They sparkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
At least they know

I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the check
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Oh–oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh

Hello, hello
Hola
At a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you, give me something I can feel

Shark baited
Miles of fun
Well this man isn't mad at all

All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one... gets...hurt

Hello, hello
Hola
At a place called Vertigo

Your love is teaching me how...
How to kneel, uh
How to kneel

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Outrageous screams and she bawls
Jean genie let yourself go...home

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All of this can be yours

Even Better Than The Real Thing (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

“You're Paul from number 10. “
And you go, what? Paul? Paul is dead. I don't know who you're talking about.
I'm fuckin' Bono. Sir fuckin' Bono. The Edge, Larry, Lord Adam Clayton.
And we're the greatest rock 'n' roll band on the north side of Dublin.
Yeah, oh yeah


Give me one more chance
And you’ll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won’t be denied

Well my heart is where it’s always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight

You’re the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child

Give me one last chance
And I’m gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring

Well you’re honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
We’ll slide down the surface of things

You’re the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child

Greatest sound in the world, still those voices in your head
Telling you you're nothing, telling you you're no one
Then you look around and you see Adam Clayton
Look at him
You see The Edge and he's someone
And you feel Larry Mullen Junior and you know
The truth is not far from here
But while we wait for it to arrive
Might we agree on our drug of choice
Alcohol? Chemicals? Has been
The Holy Spirit? I hope so
But tonight, for sure it is you, it is you

You take us higher
You take us higher
You take us higher
You take us higher

Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child

All of this can be yours

Acrobat (Live from Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see...ah

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 to your face
Of melting snow
Now it looks like this

You can swallow
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
Oh, oh

No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you’d hit out
If you only knew who to hit

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
‘Cause I need it now

To take the cup
Fill it up
Drink it slow
Can’t let you go
I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
But don’t let the bastards grind you down

Wo-wo, baby
What are we going 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
You can find
Your own way out
And you can build
I can will
And you can call
I can’t wait until
And you can stash
And you can seize
But in dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
I can love
I know that our time is coming  ‘round
Don’t let the bastards grind you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You're The Best Thing About Me (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Hello, darling
Hello, it's me again
I'm calling from the last night of the tour
It's amazing, yeah, people just came back
From all over the world they just came back
Crazy U2 fans

Sorry to be talking about our love in front of other people, you know
But I guess that's what happens when you fall in love with a showman
Funny, today, in the room in the hotel
I looked at my face in the mirror and I saw his face
I saw my father's face...I kinda got a fright
When I realized that he was a showman, too
And I'd watched him putting on and off his makeup as a child
And I know he loved you
And now I finally know and understand that he loved me
Thanks for sticking with me
I love you


When you look so good
The pain in your face doesn’t show
When you look so good
Baby you don’t even know

When the world is ours
But the world is not your kind of thing
Full of shooting stars
Brighter as they’re vanishing

Oh you’ve seen enough
To know it’s children who teach
You’re still free enough
To wake up on a bed or a beach

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing ever happened a boy
You’re the best thing about me
I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing easy to destroy
You’re the best thing about me
Best thing

I've been crying out
How bad can a good time be
Shooting off my mouth
That’s another great thing about me

I have everything
But I feel like nothing at all
There’s no risky thing
For a man who’s determined to fall

Sing with us

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing ever happened a boy
You’re the best thing about me
I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing easy to destroy
If you’re the best thing about me
Why am I?
Why am I walking away? Walking away
Why am I walking away? Oh

I can see it all so clearly
I can see what you can’t see
I can see you love her loudly
When she needs you quietly

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing easy to destroy
If you’re the best thing about me
Why am I?
Why am I walking away? Walking away
Why am I walking away?

Why are you walking away?
Adam Clayton, first manager of U2
First to believe we could be here tonight
That's Larry Mullen Junior right there
He started this band, blame him
Never played better
