Mysterious Ways
U2


Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love

She's slippy
You're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways

Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
(On your knees boy)

She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Lift my days, light up my nights

One day you will look...back
And you'll see...where
You were held...how
By this love...while
You could stand...there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights

1. Am I the only one who finds belly dancers non-sexy?
Boy, I AM a grouch, but damn, I've never seen one that did a thing for me. Must be my contrarian nature... I think it's the overwrought costumes, the theatrical make-up, and the whole "aren't I sexy because I'm a belly dancer?" kind of attitude.

Another song spoiled by the video...

2. Two quick thoughts
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 01:36 PM by realpolitik
I love this song, and I had pretty much given up on U2 before they did it.


It reminds me of Tom Robbins' 'Skinny Legs and All'
Which might be a great book to make into a movie at this
point in time.

I wish the Cohen brothers would take it on.
