Silver Wire

An industrial-edged rock anthem, It features a relentless, grinding bassline and a steady, mechanical drum beat, The guitars are layered with heavy "Edge-style" rhythmic delay and distorted "fuzz" textures, The vocals are soaring and desperate, utilizing Bono's signature emotive range and falsetto peaks

Verse 1 I’m hanging on a thin line now I’m trying to remember how The world is spinning out of view I’m looking for a sign of you I’m dialing up the empty space To find a way to leave this place Chorus Oh, silver wire Take me higher When I’m falling from the height You’re the one who makes it right Silver wire, never tire You’re the aim of my desire Verse 2 The air is thick with heavy rain I’m trying to forget the pain You send a wave across the sea To bring the message back to me I’m walking on the edge again Counting up to nine or ten Chorus Oh, silver wire Take me higher When I’m falling from the height You’re the one who makes it right Silver wire, never tire You’re the aim of my desire Verse 3 Don’t let me go, don’t let me slide There’s nowhere left for me to hide I’m calling from a broken phone I’m tired of being all alone Give me something I can hold Before the universe turns cold Chorus Oh, silver wire Take me higher When I’m falling from the height You’re the one who makes it right Silver wire, never tire You’re the aim of my desire
