Lyrics of ' Treason ' by U2

You come to me when your voice is a whisper
Come to me on the corner of a breeze
You come to me because you cannot have her
You come to me only when you’re on your knees

I was naked when and you clothed me
A slave and you stole me
From the ones that couldn’t hold me
Who took our freedom away

I was empty and you filled me
Made a friend of my enemy
I was there, but you could see things I couldn’t see

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is Treason

You come to me where the waves are washing
You come to me on the swell of the sea
You come to me when lightning is flashing
In the static electricity

I was the Sun and the rain to you
The one who gave a new name to you
I was a vision that came to you
Now you can’t even see
You were jumping now you're landin’
You were kneeling now you’re standin'
I'm not a child to abandon
So don’t abandon me

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason
Has your heart stopped the beating
This is treason

Shadow-man’ll-cage-us-in-a-mansion-in-the-ocean-air
I-don’t-wanna-make-you-wanna-rush-you, no, way
Now
Take it all I'm running also wanna see you there
You wanna fake it never dances, soul, mash-up
Who’d, you, want, it, love, hard-to-get
I want me a better silhouette

Kool-Aid, we’re sippin' in the coal mine
Mine some soul we’re living off coal
Slipping on my Manischewitz
Slamming down the soul of it
You wanna drill it in Alaska-ka-ka
You-wanna
Cup, cake, says I, don’t, know
You feelin’, walls are like balsa wood
Game, Show, shake your finger
Day-Glo she’s a ringer
Feed my, my, my, my, my soul
World in a fever she’s got the glow

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and you don’t give love
This is treason
This is treason
