The Fly

(album: Achtung Baby - 1991)

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child

A man will beg (Love, we shine like a)
A man will crawl (Burning star)
On the sheer face of love (We're falling from)
Like a fly on a wall (The sky tonight)
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief

A man will rise (Love, we shine like a)
A man will fall (Burning star)
From the sheer face of love (We're falling from)
Like a fly from a wall. (The sky... tonight)
It's no secret at all

Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight

A man will rise (Love, we shine like a)
A man will fall (Burning star)
From the sheer face of love (We're falling from)
Like a fly from a wall. (The sky... tonight)
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cause of one man's lie
Look I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange
