Where The Streets Have No Name -- U2

I wanna run  I want to hide  I wanna tear down the walls  That hold me inside
I wanna 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   Ho...ha...

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 our love  See our love turn to rust
Oh, 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                  (sing365.com)


The song is actually about Ireland. In Ireland (and Northern Ireland), the many cities are divided: rich/poor, Catholic/Protestant, etc. By knowing which street a person lives on you can tell their religion, wealth and beliefs - it's where the streets have no name.   (songfacts)
