U2 - Acrobat

Acrobat - Achtung Baby 1991



Acrobat

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes

You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul

What happened your face of melting in snow?
Now it looks like this


And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it

And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round

So don't let the bastards grind you down

No, nothing makes sense

Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And
I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and
wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cause I need it now


To take the cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go
I
must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream

So dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down

Oh, it
hurts baby
What are we going to do? Now it's all been said
No new ideas in the house
and every book has been read

And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this

And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can
find
Your own way out
And you can build
And I can will
And you can
call
I can't wait until
You can stash
And you can seize

Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
And I know that the tide is
turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
