U2 - Promenade Lyrics
Earth sky sea and rain
Is she coming back again
Men of straw sneak a whore
Words that build or destroy
Dirt dry bone sand and stone
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightning lights up the sky
In the cracked streets trampled under foot
Sidestep, sidewalk
I see you stare into space
Behind the face
Oh...tell me...
Charity dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through spiral staircase
To the higher ground
Slide show sea side town
Coca-Cola, football radio radio radio
Radio radio radio...

U2 Promenade Comments
I have to say, although the earlier U2 albums have a gritty authenticity to them. This album is their breakthrough. It's where they mastered their craft and became the refined artists that knew how to play the heartstrings of our souls. This song is evidence of that...
This song always brings me to tears. “ Up the spiral staircase to the higher ground...” I feel like ascending to heaven where I can finally be at peace.
Great album, horrible album cover.
Pure class.......the production is pure Eno...memories ..... what a fuckin album .
I can't describe what this song and album mean to me other than a good feeling.
I was there , the Cow Palace in 1985 for this tour ,... fucking magic !!
First time i heard this. Album i was 15 years old , it brings me lots of memories from highschool
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT (WAHNAMHONG) SAID BELOW!!!!
A melhor banda do planeta!!!
Oh tell me, tell me you will dance with me....up through spiral staircase...
SO BEAUTIFUL
Hahahaha I used to play this ALOT! I bet ya can hear it still in Sandooski
pezzo profondissimo malinconico ma pieno di speranza
Your caption says "sneak a whore" (do you really think Bono would sing that?) as part of the lyrics. It's SNOOKER HALL which is like a pool hall!
Bronwyn Galloway, JD, MA You are completely right.
Cheers. Snooker hall.
This is beautiful.
Great memories of hard times an unforgettable fire...
It's kinda ironic that our pain and hurt can push each other to such opposite ends of the spectrum when in reality it's probably the most powerful way to bring us together. Happy Thursday people!
Your lyrics are so off. Earth, sky, sea and rain / is she coming back again? / men of straw, snooker hall
the lyrics are from the original album, man
Too Jackie Chan,Too Jackie Chan-Baby Metal....
Every-Thig is In Purgatory(U2) Chad Pedigrew Is an oil-Man Welder Guy With-Out Aussie Gear.
u2's best song, & ironically one of their simplest, the nearest they got to the essence of what music & word poetry is in its most elemental & purest form.
U2 lost me after Zooropa. I do love this album, though.
I still love them. These heights are hard to reach several times.
Zooropa is a very good álbum
Agreed,prefer there early stuff.run out of ideas now.but what do i know.
So, it's late on North Beach. Outside a maggoty old club on San Fran's neon strip, Bono is explaining the shock on hearing that jazz legend Miles Davis asked to have The Unforgettable Fire played before he died last year (September 28th, 1991).
Loved Miles Davis. Pretty crazy how far reaching U2 and their light has gone into people's hearts. They will always be my absolute #1.

"Earth, sky, scenery", not "sea and rain"...
Gianluca Bergamo thanks for clearing that up.
LYRICS ARE UNREAL!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard by U2 in my life. I wish it was longer than 2 mins. This moves me to some other place, another world. The lyrics are just heavenly. Bono's vocals in this are also simply superb - he carries the listener away with him. This should have more views/hits - definitely an underrated song that deserves more attention. <3
Beautiful words for a beautiful song. 👍
Lyrics are way off. i.e. "sneak a whore" is actually "snooker hall."
happy birthday Susan Webster
"And I like a firework.. explode! Roman candle lightning lights up the sky! "So beautiful! One of my favorites!
I miss that U2
One of the most underrated things they ever did. Beautiful.
1. Thank you for posting this.
2. lyric correction:
"Men of straw, s͟n͟o͟o͟k͟e͟r͟ h͟a͟l͟l "
(not 'sneak a whore')
3. lyric correction:
"T͟e͟l͟l͟ y͟o͟u͟: 'Dance with me, turn me around tonight.'..."
(not 'Charity')
4. Cheers 😉
Oh, tell me...
Cherry dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through a spiral staircase
To the higher ground
Coca cola radio ..remember them well and the Coke yo-yo,s from them days
lake fire
We called them radio balls
They had 3 great album's all from 80's.
5 albums..all from the 80's..
Having been a fan of U2 since the early 80s, and out of all their discography, this is their only song I still play daily. Unforgettable fire is their best album IMHO.
I THINK ITS THE BEST ALBUM EVER WRITTEN
wahnamhong. Truly..special.. They have contributed elevated nd enriched our lives ..beautiful
Agreed. Unforgettable Fire was their peak. Perfect record.
wahnamhong Take off that stupid Elvis song and I would agree.
peepingtom20101 Wire??
I'd also add Achtung Baby.
would make a beautiful unconventional wedding song.
Enos influence is very strong in this song as well as the rest of the album. Beautiful song
love this album so much!!
I'm pretty sure it's "snooker hall" (as in billiards) not "sneak a whore" on line 3. lol :)
I'm 100 in agreement with you, lol.
someonecares2 Snooker hall. Yes.
