Get On Your Boots
U2 · NRJ Music Awards 2010 [2010]
Winds blows with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But won't scare you
Hey! Sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah
You free me from the dark dream
Candy floss ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren't real
Here's where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real
You don't know how beautiful
You don't know how beautiful you are
(You don't know!)
No, you don't know how beautiful
(And you don't get it, do you?)
You don't know how beautiful you are
(You don't know how beautiful you)
That's someone's stuff they're blowing up
But we're into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations
I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don't wanna talk about
Wars between nations
Not right now
Sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now
Bossy boots
You don't know how beautiful
You don't know how beautiful you are
(You don't know!)
No, you don't know how beautiful
(And you don't get it, do you?)
You don't know how beautiful you are
(You don't know how beautiful you are)
Sexy boots
I don't wanna talk about the wars between the nations
Sexy boots, yeah
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound now
God, I'm going down
I don't wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots, yeah hey hey!
Get on your boots, yeah hey hey!
Get on your boots, yeah hey hey!
Get on your boots, yeah hey hey!
