Post #651: U2 - "Mysterious Ways" - Achtung Baby

Unlike the average person who views Spring as a time of renewal and rebirth, I see it as a time when hot, stifling Texas weather is right around the corner, and I can honestly say that I'm not at all a fan!  I dread summertime and use it as an opportunity to hibernate inside while running the AC at full blast!!!

But this time of year... this is the time when my spirit and soul awaken and when I feel so alive and so free!  It could be that it is my birth month.  Or it could be the crisp, cool weather that is making its way in this direction.  Who knows?  Who cares?  I just love the feeling that this time of year brings!!!

And don't even get me started on the loveliness of the pumpkin-flavored everything in which I get to indulge for the next few months... Have I mentioned my incredible addiction to pumpkin-banana smoothies?  If not, well then now you know...

So "Mysterious Ways" seems fitting for today's post.  Achtung Baby was such a phenomenal album.  My parents got it for me on cassette tape for Christmas of '91, and I listened to it over and over and over again.  I'll also include a live version of a lesser known favorite called "Ultra Violet (Light My Way)"...

Until next time...

Johnny take a walk

With your sister the moon

Let her pale light in

To fill up your room

You've been living underground

Eating from a can

You've been running away

From what you don't understand

Love

She's slippy

You're sliding down

She'll be there

When you hit the ground

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

Johnny take a dive

With your sister in the rain

Let her talk about the things

You can't explain

To touch is to heal

To hurt is to steal

If you want to kiss the sky

Better learn how to kneel (on your knees boy!)

She's the wave

She turns the tide

She sees the man inside the child, yeah

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Lift my days, light up my nights

One day you'll look back

And you'll see

Where you were held

How by this love

While you could stand there

You could move on this moment

Follow this feeling

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

Ah oh oh ah huh

Move, move, move, move

She moves with it

She moves me like

Lift my days and light up my nights

Love
