Never Let Me Down

I'm taking a ride with my best friend

I hope he never lets me down again

I know where he's taking me

Taking me where I wanna be

I'm taking a ride with my best friend



We're flying high

Watching the world pass us by

Never want to come down

Never want to put my feet back down on the ground



I'm taking a ride with my best friend

I hope he never lets me down again

He promised me I'm safe in his houses

As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers

I hope he never lets me down again



We're flying high

Watching the world pass us by

We're flying high

Watching the world pass us by

Never want to come down

Never want to come down

Never want to come down

Never want to put my feet back down on the ground



See the stars, they're shining bright

Everything's all right tonight

See the stars, they're shining bright

Everything's all right tonight

It exemplifies the band's ability to merge pop sensibilities with complex musical arrangements, creating a sound that was both commercially successful and critically acclaimed. The track remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a key moment in the evolution of 90s alternative music and continuing to resonate with fans decades later.
