I don't know you, and you don't know the half of it
I had a staring role, I was the bad guy who walked out
They say be careful where you aim, cuz where you aim you just might hit
You can hold on to something so tight, you've already lost it
Dragging me down, that's not the way it used to be
(slow bend)

It was a dirty day, dirty day
If you're looking for explanations, I don't even understand
If need someone to blame
Throw a rock in the air, you'll hit someone guilty
[A]From father to [E]son, in one[F#m] life has [D]begun
A [F#m]work that's never [Dsus2]done, from father to [A5]son
Love, it won't last kissing time
Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say, nothing's a simple as you think
Wake up, some things you can't get around
I'm in you more so when they put me in the ground
Those days, days, days, run away like horses over the hill

This is that little run that the edge plays in the Z(T)(V)
shows. It comes after the line:
"THESE DAYS DAYS DAYS RUN AWAY LIKE HORSES OVER THE HILLS"
is repeated 3 or 4 times. The same fills found in the
Zooropa album archive are used.
