U2

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. more »

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again 
Feeling sea sick again 
The world could just dissolve 
Into a glass of water 
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to 
Do you really want me to be as blue as you 
It's her daylight that gets me through 

We've been here before 
Last time you scratched at my door 
The moon was naked and cold 
I was like a two year old 
Who just wanted more 
If you wear that velvet dress 
If you wear that velvet dress 

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains 
It's a private show no one else going to know 
I'm wanting 

Sunlight 
Sunlight fills my room 
It's sharp and it's clear 
But nothing at all like the moon 

It's okay 
The struggle for things not to say 
I never listened to you anyway 
And I got my own hands to pray 

If you wear that velvet dress 
If you wear that velvet dress 

Tonight the moon is a mirror ball 
Light flickers from across the hall 
Who'll catch the star when it falls 

If you wear that velvet dress
