Puttin’ On My Best Bono
Look out
Oh no
I’m in my car
And I’m driving solo
Living life by the Edge
Music loud
And I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
Breaking out
Dusting off
And puttin’ on my best Bono
Daddy’s not gonna pay for this crashed car
It’s just aluminum foil to his gold
Oh, I do my best
But they broke the mold
There’ll be no millions
Millions of copies sold
Still I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
With or without you
I’m driving by the Edge
In God’s country
Where the streets have no name
Except Cedarwood Road
Except Cedarwood Road
Where I trip through your wires
Music loud
And you know me
I know U2
Yes it’s you know who
I’m jammin’ to
And I’d love to share it with you too
And I’d love to sing it with you too
But I still haven’t the sound that I’m looking for
…Still it’s my best Bono
Daddy’s not gonna pay for this crashed car
It’s just aluminum foil to his gold
Oh, I do my best
But they broke the mold
There’ll be no millions
Millions of copies sold
Still I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
Leaves you numb
Like a song
Leaves a drowning man
Weighed down by pride and desire
Leaves Gloria
The lady with the spinning head
Leaves a forgettable fire
Never better than the real thing
Take nothing but a miracle
To sleep like a baby tonight
Take a miracle drug
For the troubles
Leave you feeling like
An acrobat
On wild horses
Like vertigo
In an electrical storm
But Bono
He sings in mysterious ways
One voice, but we’re not the same
His is the one I will follow
Mine’s a street with no name
Follow his while I drive off
Into the Indian Summer sky
Through the shadows and tall trees
Until the end of the world goes by
Look out
Not again
Oh no
And I’m driving solo
Living life by the Edge
Music loud
And I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
Breaking out
Dusting off
And puttin’ on my best Bono
Daddy’s not gonna pay for this crashed car
It’s just aluminum foil to his gold
Oh, I do my best
But they broke the mold
There’ll be no millions
Millions of copies sold
Still I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
Wishing I was so fly
I’d sing a song for someone…anyone
But when I sing
The sound
A dirty day
The angels can’t save me
Too tied to the ground
I’m still a mess
Like I’ve been raised by wolves
Leaves you white as snow
Makes you get on your boots
Not that red velvet dress
When I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
I’m a stranger in a strange land
Left alone that night
Rejoicing by an October fire
At least tomorrow will be
A beautiful day
Bono would have it
No other way
So I throw a brick through a window
And my cares to the wind
And with or without you
My dear dear friend
I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
I’m puttin’ on my best Bono
