The Fly
by U2

Album: Achtung Baby

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's 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


Gospel Voice:
Love, we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from
The sky... tonight

Low Voice:
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all


It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's 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


Gospel Voice
Love, we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from
The sky... tonight

Low Voice
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

Gospel Voice:
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight
Love, we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from
The sky... tonight


It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie
Look I gotta go
Yeah, I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things
If I could I'd rearrange
