summer rain

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

when you stop seeing beauty you start growing old
the lines on your face are a map to your soul
when you stop taking chances you’ll stay where you sit
you won’t live any longer but it’ll feel like it

i lost myself in the summer rain
i lost myself
i lost myself in the summer rain
in the summer rain

tequila and orange, jamaica and rum
at the morella, honey on my tongue
in a small boat on a generous sea
you let me be your enemy
tiny hand with a grip on the world
holding our breath now, diving for pearls

i lost myself in the summer rain
i lost myself
i lost myself in the summer rain

just as you find me always i will be
a little bit too free with myself
just as you find me always i will be
a little bit too free with myself

i lost myself in the summer rain
i lost myself
now there’s no one else in the summer rain
raining down
raining down
rain
raining down
raining down

just as you find me always i will be
a little bit too free with myself
just as you find me always i will be
a little bit too free with myself

it’s not why you’re running
it’s where you’re going
it’s not what you’re dreaming
but what you’re gonna do
it’s not where you’re born
it’s where you belong
it’s not how weak
but what will make you strong

the ground beneath her feet

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

all my life i worshipped her
her golden voice, her beauty’s beat
how she made us feel
how she made me real
and the ground beneath her feet
and the ground beneath her feet

and now i can’t be sure of anything
black is white and cold is heat
for what i worshipped stole my love away
it was the ground beneath her feet
it was the ground beneath her feet

go lightly down your darkened way
go lightly under ground
i’ll be down there in another day
i won’t rest until you’re found

let me love you, let me rescue you
let me bring you where two roads meet
oh, come back above where there is only love
only love

my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my

let me love you true
let me rescue you
let me bring to where two roads meet
let me love you true
let me rescue you
i want to bring you to where two roads meet

my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my
my oh my

(this song was written by u2 and salman rushdie)

grace

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

grace, she takes the blame
she covers the shame
removes the stain
it could be her name
grace, it’s the name for a girl
it’s also a thought that could change the world
and when she walks on the street you can hear the strings
grace finds goodness in everything

grace, she’s got the walk
not on a ramp or on chalk
she’s got the time to talk
she travels outside of karma, karma
she travels outside of karma
when she goes to work you can hear the strings
grace finds beauty in everything

grace, she carries a world on her hips
no champagne flue for her lips
no twirls or skips between her fingertips
she carries a pearl in perfect condition
what once was hurt
what once was friction
what left a mark no longer stings
because grace makes beauty out of ugly things
grace finds beauty in everything
grace finds goodness in everything

new york

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

in new york freedom
looks like too many choices
in new york i found a friend
to drown out the other voices
voices on a cell phone
voices from home
voices through the hard sell
voices down a stairwell
in new york
just got a place in new york

in new york summers get hot
well into the hundreds
you can’t walk around the block
without a change of clothing
hot as a hairdryer in your face
hot as a handbag and a can of mace
new york
i just got a place in new york
new york
new york

in new york you can forget
forget how to sit still
tell yourself you will stay in
but it’s down to alphaville

new york, new york, new york
new york, new york, new york

the irish have been coming here for years
feel like they own the place
they got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt
they even got the police
irish, italians, jews and hispanics
religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
living happily not like me and you
that’s where i lost you
new york

new york, new york, new york
new york, new york, new york
new york

in new york i lost it all
to you and your vices
still i’m staying on to figure out
my midlife crisis
i hit an iceberg in my life
but you know i’m still afloat
you lose your balance, lose your wife
in the queue for the lifeboat
you gotta put the women and children first
but you’ve got an unquenchable thirst for new york

new york, new york
new york, new york

in the stillness of the evening
when the sun has had its day
i heard your voice whispering
come away now

new york

new, new york, new york

when i look at the world

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

when you look at the world
what is it that you see
people find all kinds of things
that bring them to their knees
i see an expression
so clear and so true
that changes the atmosphere
when you walk into the room

so i try to be like you
try to feel it like you do
but without you it’s no use
i can’t see what you see
when i look at the world

when the night is someone elses
and you’re trying to get some sleep
when your thoughts are too expensive
to ever want to keep
when there’s all kinds of chaos
and everyone is walking lame
you don’t even blink now, do you
or even look away

so i try to be like you
try to feel it like you do
but without you it’s no use
i can’t see what you see
when i look at the world

i can’t wait any longer
i can’t wait till i’m stronger
i can’t wait any longer
to see what you see
when i look at the world

i’m in the waiting room
can’t see for the smoke
i think of you and your holy book
while the rest of us choke
tell me, tell me, what do you see
tell me, tell me, what’s wrong with me

peace on earth

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

heaven on earth, we need it now
i’m sick of all of this hanging around
sick of sorrow, sick of the pain
i’m sick of hearing again and again
that there’s gonna be peace on earth

where i grew up there weren’t many trees
where there was we’d tear them down
and use them on our enemies
they say that what you mock
will surely overtake you
and you become a monster
so the monster will not break you

and it’s already gone too far
who said that if you go in hard
you won’t get hurt

jesus can you take the time
to throw a drowning man a line
peace on earth
tell the ones who hear no sound
whose sons are living in the ground
peace on earth
no whos or whys
no one cries like a mother cries
for peace on earth
she never got to say goodbye
to see the color in his eyes
now he’s in the dirt
peace on earth

they’re reading names out over the radio
all the folks the rest of us won’t get to know
sean and julia, gareth, ann and breda
their lives are bigger than any big idea

jesus can you take the time
to throw a drowning man a line
peace on earth
to tell the ones who hear no sound
whose sons are living in the ground
peace on earth
jesus sing a song you wrote
the words are sticking in my throat
peace on earth
hear it every christmas time
but hope and history won’t rhyme
so what’s it worth
this peace on earth

peace on earth
peace on earth
peace on earth

wild honey

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

in the days when we were swinging from the trees
i was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees
i could taste, i could taste you even then
and i would chase you down the wind

you could go there if you please, wild honey
and if you go there, go with me, wild honey

did i know you, did i know you even then
before the clocks kept time, before the world was made
from the cruel sun you were my shelter
you were my shelter and my shade

if you go there go with me, wild honey
you can do just what you please, wild honey
yeah, just blowing in the breeze, wild honey
wild, wild, wild

i’m still standing, i’m still standing where you left me
are you still growing wild with everthing tame around you
i send you flowers, cut flowers for your hall
i know you’re garden’s full but is there sweetness at all

oh oh oh, love me with your soul

if you go there go with me, wild honey
won’t you take me, take me please, wild honey
yeah, swinging through the trees, wild honey
wild, wild, wild

in a little while

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

in a little while surely you’ll be mine
in a little while i’ll be there
in a little while this hurt will hurt no more
i’ll be home, love
when the night takes a deep breath and the daylight has no air
if i crawl, if i come crawling home will you be there

in a little while i won’t be blown by every breeze
friday night running to sunday on my knees
that girl, that girl, she’s mine
well i’ve known her since
since she was a little girl with spanish eyes
when i saw her in a pram they pushed her by
my how you’ve grown
well, it’s been, it’s been a little while

slow down my beating heart

a man dreams one day to fly
a man takes a rocketship into the skies
he lives on a star that’s dying in the night
and follows in the trail, the scatter of light
turn it on, turn it on, you turn me on

slow down my beating heart
slowly, slowly love
slow down my beating heart
slowly, slowly love
slow down my beating heart
slowly, slowly love

kite

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

something is about to give
i can feel it coming
i think i know what it is
i’m not afraid to die
i’m not afraid to live
and when i’m flat on my back
i hope to feel like i did
’cause hardness, it sets in
you need some protection
the thinner the skin
i want you to know
that you don’t need me anymore
i want you to know
you don’t need anyone, anything at all

who’s to say where the wind will take you
who’s to say what it is will break you
i don’t know which way the wind will blow
who’s to know when the time has come around
don’t wanna see you cry
i know this is not goodbye

in summer i can taste the salt in the sea
there’s a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
i wonder what’s gonna happen to you
you wonder what has happened to me
i’m a man, i’m not a child
a man who sees the shadow behind your eyes

who’s to say where the wind will take you
who’s to say what it is will break you
i don’t know where the wind will blow
who’s to know when the time has come around
i don’t wanna see you cry
i know that this is not goodbye

did i waste it
not so much i couldn’t taste it
life should be fragrant
rooftop to the basement
the last of the rockstars
when hip-hop drove the big cars
in the time when new media
was the big idea
that was the big idea

walk on

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

and love is not the easy thing
the only baggage you can bring
and love is not the easy thing
the only baggage you can bring
is all that you can’t leave behind

and if the darkness is to keep us apart
and if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
and if your glass heart should crack
and for one second you turn back
oh no, be strong

walk on, walk on
what you got they can’t steal it
no, they can’t even feel it
walk on, walk on
stay safe tonight

you’re packing a suitcase for a place none of has been
a place that has to be believed to be seen
you could have flown away
a singing bird in an open cage
who will only fly, only fly for freedom

walk on, walk on
what you’ve got they can’t deny it
can’t sell it or buy it
walk on, walk on
you stay safe tonight

and i know it aches, how your heart it breaks
you can only take so much
walk on, walk on

home, hard to know what it is if you’ve never had one
home, i can’t say where it is but i know i’m going home
that’s where the hurt is

and i know it aches and your heart it breaks
and you can only take so much
walk on

leave it behind
you’ve got to leave it behind
all that you fashion
all that you make
all that you build
all that you break
all that you measure
all that you feel
all this you can leave behind
all that you reason
it’s only time
all that you bear
no more than a feeling on my mind
all that you see
all that you wear
all that you sense
all that you scheme
all you dress up
all that you’ve seen
all you create
and all that you wreck
all that you hate

elevation

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

high, higher than the sun
you shoot me from a gun
i need you to elevate me here
at the corner of your lips
as the orbit of your hips
eclipse

you elevate my soul
i’ve lost all self-control
been living like a mole
now, going down, excavation
i and i into the sky
you make me feel like i can fly so high
elevation

a star lit up like a cigar
strung out like a guitar
maybe you can educate my mind
explain all these controls
can’t sing but i’ve got soul
the goal is elevation

a mole living in a hole
digging up my soul
going down, excavation
i and i into the sky
you make me feel like i can fly so high
elevation

love, lift me out of these blues
won’t you tell me something true
i believe in you

a mole living in a hole
digging up my soul
going down, excavation
i and i in the sky
you make me feel like i can fly so high
elevation
elevation
elevation

stuck in a moment you cant get out of

priapus
u2 all that you cant leave behind albumunden bir sarki;

i’m not afraid of anything in this world
there’s nothing you can throw at me
that i haven’t already heard
i’m just trying to find a decent melody
a song that i can sing in my own company

i never thought you were a fool
but darling, look at you
you gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
these tears are going nowhere, baby

you’ve got to get yourself together
you’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of
don’t say that later will be better
now you’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

i will not forsake the colours that you bring
but the nights you filled with fireworks
they left you with nothing
i am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
i still listen through your ears
and through your eyes i can see

and you are such a fool to worry like you do
i know it’s tough and you can never get enough
of what you don’t really need now, my oh my

you’ve got to get yourself together
you’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
oh love, look at you now
you’ve got yourself stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

i was unconcious, half asleep
the water is warm till you discover how deep
i wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
it’s a long way down to nothing at all

you’ve got to get yourself together
you’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
don’t say that later will be better
now you’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

and if the night runs over
and if the day won’t last
and if our way should falter
along the stony pass
and if the night runs over
and if the day won’t last
and if our way should falter
along the stony pass
it’s just a moment, this time will pass

beautiful day

priapus
u2 sarkisi;

the heart is a bloom, shoots up through 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 and you’re not moving anywhere
you thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place
always
someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
always

it’s a beautiful day
the sky falls and you feel like
it’s a beautiful day
don’t let it get away

you’re on the road but you’ve 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
it’s a beautiful day
touch me
take me to that other place
teach me
i know i’m not a hopeless case

see the world in green and blue
see china right in front of you
see the canyons broken by cloud
see the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
see the bedouin fires at night
see the oil fields at first light, and
see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
after the flood all the colors came out

day

it was a beautiful day
don’t let it get away
beautiful day

touch me
take me to that other place
reach me
i know i’m not a hopeless case

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
it was a beautiful day

it’s warm in the sun, i reach to the sun

wake up dead man

priapus
u2 pop album sarkisi sozler;

jesus, jesus help me
i’m alone in this world
and a fucked up world it is too
tell me, tell me the story
the one about eternity
and the way it’s all gonna be

wake up, wake up dead man
wake up, wake up dead man

jesus, i’m waiting here boss
i know you’re looking out for us
but maybe your hands aren’t free
your father, he made the world in seven
he’s in charge of heaven
will you put a word in for me

wake up, wake up dead man
wake up, wake up dead man

listen to the words, they’ll tell you what to do
listen over the rythm that’s confusing you
listen to the reed in the saxaphone
listen over the hum of the radio
listen over sounds of blades in rotation
listen through the traffic and circulation
listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
listen over marching bands playing out their time

wake up, wake up dead man
wake up, wake up dead man

jesus, were you just around the corner
did you think to try and warn her
or are you working on something new
is there an order in all of this disorder
is it like a tape recorder
can we rewind it just once more

wake up, wake up dead man
wake up, wake up dead man
wake up, wake up dead man

please

priapus
u2 pop album sarkisi sozler asagida;

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you almost wasted away

You had to win, you couldn’t just pass
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Your flying colours, your family tree
And all your lessons in history

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees
Please, please, please
Please

So you never knew how low you’d stoop
Yo make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Until they made you crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep
You stole

Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos, now they’re making the news
Your holy war, your northern star
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees
Please, please
Leave me out of this mess

So love is hard and love is tough
But love is not what you’re thinking of
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over, down the drain
Shards of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain
October, talk getting nowhere
November, December
Remember, are we just starting again

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees
Please, please, please
Please
So love is big, it’s bigger than us
But love is not what you’re thinking of
It’s what lovers deal, it’s what lovers steal
You know I found it hard to recieve
’Cause you, my love, I could never believe

if you wear that velvet dress

priapus
u2 pop album sarkisi

tonight the moon is playing tricks again
yeah, i’m feeling seasick again
the world could just dissolve
into a glass of water
i’ve been good
’cause i know you don’t want me to
do you really want me to
be blue as you
it’s her daylight that gets me through
we’ve been here before
last time you scratched at my door
the moon was naked and cold
i was like a two year old
who just wanted more

if you wear that velvet dress
if you wear that velvet dress
if you wear that velvet dress
if you wear that velvet dress

tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
it’s a private show
no one else going to know i’m wanting

does it feel good
sure it’s okay
’cause i dance with you

sunlight, sunlight fills my room
it’s sharp and it’s clear
but nothing like the moon
it’s okay
the struggle for things not to say
i never listened to you anyway
i got my own hands to pray

if you wear that velvet dress
if you wear that velvet dress
if you wear that velvet dress
if you wear that velvet dress

tonight the moon is a mirrorball
light flickers from across the hall
who’ll catch the star when it falls
if you wear that velvet dress

the playboy mansion

priapus
u2 pop album sarkisi sozler;

if coke is a mystery
and micheal jackson, history
if beauty is truth and
surgery, the fountain of youth
what am i to do
have i got the gifts to get me through
the gates of that mansion

if o.j. is more than a drink
and a big mac bigger than we think
if perfume is an obsession
and talk shos, confession
what have we got to lose
another push and we’ll be through
the gates of that mansion

i never bought a lotto ticket
i never parked in anyone’s space
the banks, they’re like chathedrals
i guess casinos took their place
love "come on down"
don’t wake her, she’ll come around
chance is a kind of religion
where you’re damned for plain hard luck
i never did see that movie
never did read that book
love come on down
let my numbers come around

don’t know if i can hold on
don’t know if i’m that strong
don’t know if i can wait that long
till the colours come flashing
and the lights go on

then will there be no time for sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
and though i can’t say why
i know i’ve got to believe
we’ll go driving in that pool
it’s who you know that gets you through
the gates of the playboy mansion
but they don’t mention the pain

then will there be no time of sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
then will there be no time of sorrow
then will there be no time for shame
