      Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
      By U2
        Green light, Seven Eleven
        You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
        You don't smoke, don't even want to
        Hey now, check your change
        Dressed up like a car crash
        Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
        You say when he hits you, you don't mind
        Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
        Hey babe, is that what it is 
        Red lights, gray morning
        You stumble out of a hole in the ground
        A vampire or a victim
        It depends on who's around
        You used to stay in to watch the adverts
        You could lip synch to the talk shows
        And if you look, you look through me
        And when you talk, you talk at me
        And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing 
        If I could stay
        Then the night would give you up
        Stay and the day would keep its trust
        Stay and the night would be enough 
        Faraway, so close
        Up with the static and the radio
        With satelite television
        You can go anywhere
        Miami, New Orleans
        London, Belfast and Berlin 
        And if you listen I can't call
        And if you jump, you just might fall
        And if you shout, I'll only hear you 
        If I could stay
        Then the night would give you up
        Stay then the day would keep its trust
        Stay with the demons you drowned
        Stay with the spirit I found
        Stay and the night would be enough 
        Three o'clock in the morning
        It's quiet and there's no one around
        Just the bang and the clatter
        As an angel runs to ground 
        Just the bang
        And the clatter
        As an angel
        Hits the ground
                    ]
