The Lyrics To "Where The Streets Have No Name"

The Marcus Satellite Tribute To U2 is on iTunes

My cover of this song is faithful to the original. That means that it totally kicks bootay, just like the original. It's one of those get-the-show-started kind of songs. I use lots of 303's and 909's to keep things moving, but don't let the instruments fool you--this is a genuine cover song, not a simple remix. Christian Provensen's vocals are dynamite.

I'm always inspired by Bono's lyrics. Every time I read the lyrics to "Where The Streets Have No Name" I appreciate them more and more.


"Where The Streets Have No Name"
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
