Lyrics for Treason by Dave Stewart And U2 from the album How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb

You come to me when your voice is a whisper
Come to me on the corner of a breeze
You come to me because you cannot have her
You come to me only when you’re on your knees

I was naked and you clothed me
A slave and you stole me
From the ones that couldn’t hold me
Who took our freedom away
I was empty and you filled me
Made a friend of my enemy
I was an idiot, but you could see
Things I couldn’t see

If you love life and you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason

You come to me when the waves are crashing
You come to me on the swell of the sea
You come to me when lightning is flashing
In the static electricity
See rock shows near London
Get tickets as low as $18

I was the sun and the rain to you
The one who gave a new name to you
I was a vision that came to you
That you can’t even see
You were jumping,now you’re landing
You were kneeling, now you’re standing
I’m not a child to abandon
So don’t abandon me

If you love life and you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Has your heart stopped the beating?
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
This is treason

Shout ’em out, catch us in a mansion in the open air
I don’t wanna make you, wanna rush you, no way, now
Take it all I’m running also wanna see you there
You wanna fake it, never dance, soul, mashup
Who’d you want it, love, hard to get
I want me a better silhouette
Kool-Aid, we’re sipping in the coal mine
Mine my soul, you’re living off gold
Slipping in my mind, [?] the soul of it
You wanna drill it in Alaska-ka-ka
You want a cupcake, say “I don’t know”
You’re feeling walls are like balsa wood
Game show, shake your finger
Day-Glo, she’s a ringer
Feed my, my, my, my, my soul
World in a fever, she got the glow
