A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel
U2 · Other Songs - U2
I can see through you
And where you're sitting oh
I know I get to you
See the stars in your eyes
You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino
You give your life for Rock 'n' Roll
Uh huh!
Stand
We're on a landslide of love
You got everything you want
But what you need, you give away
For primitive love
And a ride on the mystery train
Primitive love
A room at the Heart
Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak
Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak
Heartbreak Hotel
You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, you're on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet
My life yeah
Oh, yeah yeah
I wanna love
Did he bed again?
I gotta know
Oh the price
Is too hard to pay
A primitive love
And a ride on the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the Heart
Heartbreak Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak Hotel, Hotel
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
(Halle' Halle' Hallelujah)
(Halle' Halle' Halle')
A room at the Heartbreak, the Heartbreak
The Heartbreak
