Madre de Dios

Bono Vox

Mother Of God

I was sleepwalking, I was in a daze, numb to this place
I was sleepwalking, I was in a haze, caught in this space
We were feeding from stale white lights you were full of praise
We were living off borrowed time I was full of lies.

Get up

And we swallowed the blue, the blue pill whole
And we turned out the lights and closed the door
And we swallowed the blue, the blue pill whole
And we turned out the lights and closed the door
But we don’t live here anymore

I was stationary, I was set up on the steps that night
I was stationary, I was watching with waking fright
When we started moving they were pushing us
Pushing us around
A neon football scrum was taking you to ground

Get up

And we swallowed the blue, the blue pill whole
And we turned out the lights and closed the door
And we swallowed the blue, the blue pill whole
And we turned out the lights and closed the door
But we don’t live here anymore

Madre de Dios

Caminaba dormido, estaba aturdido, insensible a este lugar
Caminaba dormido, estaba en una neblina, atrapado en este espacio
Nos estábamos alimentando de luces blancas rancias, estabas llena de elogios
Vivíamos con tiempo prestado, yo estaba lleno de mentiras.

Levántate

Y nos tragamos la pastilla azul entera
Y apagamos las luces y cerramos la puerta
Y nos tragamos la pastilla azul entera
Y apagamos las luces y cerramos la puerta
Pero ya no vivimos aquí

Estaba inmóvil, estaba parado en los escalones esa noche
Estaba inmóvil, estaba observando con un miedo creciente
Cuando empezamos a movernos, nos estaban empujando
Empujándonos de un lado a otro
Un tumulto de fútbol neón te estaba llevando al suelo

Levántate

Y nos tragamos la pastilla azul entera
Y apagamos las luces y cerramos la puerta
Y nos tragamos la pastilla azul entera
Y apagamos las luces y cerramos la puerta
Pero ya no vivimos aquí
