Lyrics of The Fly by U2
verse
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight.
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
Y' know I don't see you when she walks in the room.
verse
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help.
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else.
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child.
pre-chorus
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky
chorus
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
verse
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief
pre-chorus
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky
chorus
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
bridge
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky tonight
Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky
chorus
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
verse
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cos-a one man's lie
Look I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange
Writer(s): Dave Evans, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
