U2 Lyrics - Surrender

The city's alight
With lovers and lies
Bright blue eyes.
The city is bright,
Brighter than day tonight,

Surrender, Surrender.

Sadie said she couldn't
Work out what it was all about.
And so she let go,
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you know.
She tried to be a good girl
And a good wife
Raise a good family,
Lead a good life.
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Got to find out, find out
What she's living for.
Surrender, Surrender.

The city's a fire,
A passionate flame
That knows me by name.
The city's desire
To take me for more and more.

It's in the street getting under my feet,
It's in the air it's everywhere I look for you,
It's in the things I do and say.
If I want to live, I've got to die to myself someday.

Papa sing my sing my song.
Papa sing my sing my song.
