U2 - Zooropa Lyrics






(What do you want?)
(What do you want?)

Zooropa...vorsprung durch technik
Zooropa...be all that you can be
Be a winner
Eat to get slimmer

Zooropa...a bluer kind of white
Zooropa...it could be yours tonight
We're mild and green
And squeaky clean

Zooropa...better by design
Zooropa...fly the friendly skies
Through appliance of science
We've got that ring of confidence

And I have no compass
And I have no map
And I have no reasons
No reasons to get back

And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit
The limit of what we've got

Don't worry baby, it'll be alright
You got the right shoes
To get you through the night
It's cold outside, but brightly lit
Skip the subway
Let's go to the overground
Get your head out of the mud baby
Put flowers in the mud baby
Overground

No particular place names
No particular song
I've been hiding
What am I hiding from

Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright
Uncertainty can be a guiding light
I hear voices, ridiculous voices
Out in the slipstream
Let's go, let's go overground
Take your head out of the mud baby

She's gonna dream up
The world she wants to live in
She's gonna dream out loud
She's gonna dream out loud
Dream out loud

    I remember being completely lost listening to this intro. What a dynamic production team on this one.

  3. P.... D....

    this whole album spoke to me like someone whispering secrets about a world in collapse and rebirth. Perfect for a 25 year old sporting a 90's pony tail. Still one of my faves

  4. n.... ....

    Station to Station?

  5. J.... G....

  18. V.... ....

    Un album qui sort des sentiers battus. Très raffiné et en parfaite osmose avec son époque

  19. T.... ....

    30 years to the day after the fall of the Berlin wall, I've come back to this song . . :)

  21. I.... ....

    Zooropa and pop are underrated albums.

  22. D.... ....

    Is anyone else hearing a Pink Floyd influence in the intro? Not the rest of the song – just the intro.

    D.... ....

    Do you know what? This is what I though...

    D.... ....

    When that bass joins the piano... _man_

  23. T.... ....

    I like to listen to this album at night....Look upon the sky....All those satelits and start...Room full of candles...

  24. k.... s....

    Something kept bringing up scorpion's the zoo. And this is me.

    k.... s....

    The world I want to live in.

  25. b.... ....

    isn't it weird there are so few mentions of Brexit in the 2019 comments ? imo the lyrics right now make for a pretty overwhelming feeling...

    b.... ....

    wow go there man discuss, I always seen this song is about the dangers of commercialism, the influence of advertising and media, chasing the dream - is that what you mean? being sold an ideal? a lie?

  26. N.... A....

    U2 One Of The Best Bands From Dublin Ireland They F—-ING Rock & Kick Ass Rock On ❤️🌏🇨🇮🎸🥁🎤🎼🎹🇺🇸

  27. D.... D....

    niezly kosmodrom...

  28. A.... M....

    I have always noticed a resemblance between this song and Davide Bowie's "Station to Station". They both give name to and open their own albums, they both start with a long instrumental and noisy intro, they both have a tempo change in the middle of the song, they both talk about Europe ("the european cannon is here"). And finally they are both so underrated.

  29. A.... F....

    AWESOME SONG !!

  30. A.... D....

    Um dos melhores albuns de todos que já ouvi.

  31. M.... ....

    Not a fan of U2, but I love this song and the whole record, which (in my opinion) would be perfect if it hadn’t “Babyface” in it.

  32. P.... B....

    If I stage a coup and take over a country (hello FBI, NSA, CIA, and Secret Service) I'm gonna name it Zooropa and make this the national anthem.

  33. M.... K....

    👍👍👌

  34. E.... B....

    Get youR HeAD ouT-oF-THe-MuD Baby.Put fLoweRs in The MuD Baby.OveRGRounD.

  35. c.... i....

    I saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind (a masterpiece) again last night. I wonder if Lacombe's "Mr. Neary--What do you want?" is the source reference of the "What do you want?" background line here. It would be thematically apt, as Roy would identify with this song.

  36. A.... R....

    wow my sister has to write an essay about this but I didn't know it was by u2

  37. S.... D....

    Only U2 album I own.
    Sat on top of a car at 70mph having just realised that the earth is the sky.
    More innocent times.

  38. L.... C....

    Bom pra caramba....

  39. L.... n....

    La felicidad al alcance de la música, no siempre......siempre zoo.....

  40. N.... &....

    One of U2s greatest moments... I miss the creativity and experimentation of early 90's U2

    N.... &....

    Correct

  41. s.... ....

    TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE MUD BAAABAAAY!

  42. K.... D....

    U2 is my favorite all time groups. Started listening when I was young and still listening at 57. Rock n roll forever!

  43. C.... N....

    U2 The best.

  44. p.... ....

    Everytime this comes on my playlist I end up listening to it 10 times in a row lol

  45. N.... G....

    In this song I became a U 2 fan

  46. C.... H....

    has to be one off u2's most underrated tracks . fantastic tune👌👌

  47. X.... ....

    This song first puts you in a dark mood... and then it elevates your soul to a high place full of colours and freedom and happines...

    That's what I feel with this song...

  48. �.... �....

    03:58 is the best part of the song

  49. N.... G....

    This song... I can't even describe it. It's not even my absolute favourite U2-song, but the emotions and feels I get from it are undescribable (especially when english isn't your native language). This song makes me remember something that I have never known, or that was too long ago for me to remember, seems to show me my entire life... the whispers at the beginning being the naive childhood... when the tension builds, the expections from life from a teen/young adult. I can relate so much, since I am in this situation, but other people may see something else. This song is the future, for Europe amd the world, but at the same time, otherworldly. It reflects reality and at the same time, is like a dream, like life somewhere in an alternative universe that we can't even understand... it opens to me questions about existence, about the human heart, frightens me and gives me hope at the same time. When I heard it for the first time, I felt like I somehow knew it, but it was spectacularly different from everything I've ever heard. It makes me understand everything for a few minutes but at the same time, realise how I know nothing? Makes me feel tiny and big at the same time? Being unique and a part of everything? It truly is a masterpiece.

  50. k.... k....

    the first CD that i bought
    i went to their concert in Auckland, New Zealand.

  51. c.... A....

    This song is platinum . I freaking love THIS. Never heard anything like it before.. it builds up ,then like TNT it exploded into awesome.!

  52. c.... A....

    I find this song do unique and original. I t brings me right back to 1993, my douchebag fiance of 5 YEARS. I am driving to work, I am listening to this song.. I look to my left at the parking lot for comfort Inn. I see the Cutlass Supreme I bought for her.??? She is in that hotel banging a mutual friend.!!! Priceless right. Well guess what, I disabled the engine so she could not start car, removed coil, some crucial wires. Ahh the pain, but through it all this song helped me stay "sane,"LoL

  53. j.... c....

    Listening all my life since 1984

  54. S.... g....

    Closing eyes and imagine that am flying trough the skies of the biggest cities in europe

    S.... g....

    i highly recommend Grateful Dead Europe '72

    S.... g....

    @Jason Barbush thanks

  55. T.... M....

    I seen em in 1981 in Aberdeen.....ripped his shirt pocket off and gave it to some lass.........great days indeed

    T.... M....

    this was when they almost quit the band due to the faith. good thing they didn't.

    T.... M....

    @Jason Barbush Yip very true.....i remember him climbing to the top of the amps and holding on to a curtain precariously while the pile of marshall amps wobbled , about 25 feet up, he was nuts back then the boner.....great concert though , was the war tour.........jesus im old 🤣

  56. C.... ....

    Cold outside but brightly lit.

    C.... ....

    God bless deadheads!

    C.... ....

    @Jason Barbush Thank you, God bless you brother (~);-}

  57. N.... &....

    Played this song over and over on a loop whilst tripping and drawing - to this day I have no concept of how long I was there.... I wish I still had the artwork I made....

    Underated and otherworldly, one of the best guitar sounds to come out of an effects pedal

  60. I.... s....

    I know that Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum made them famous but for me Autung Baby and Zooropa are my favorites hands down

    I.... s....

    It starts with addie I have to say War is my favorite. MTV was new and I was 11 years old. Good times.

  61. P.... S....

    De Portugal Lamego, mágnifica música

  62. i.... k....

    Masterpiece.... (and, eat to get slimer )

  63. G.... ....

    all the lyrics are corporation slogans.
    very clever.

  64. A.... F....

    3:59 officially made this a masterpiece

  65. T.... A....

    Wish I could go back in time...1993. I walked into a Kmart while on a vacation and purchased this on cassette tape. Somewhere there's a picture of me in my vehicle holding the cassette up and smiling!

  66. J.... S....

    Love this Album

  67. X.... F....

    Second to last of great u2 album. The last great is Pop

    X.... F....

    I love Pop. Because they are artists, they went somewhere else, as I think we should all do.

  68. C.... ....

    Stay away from that mud baby.

  69. J.... A....

    U2. É sensacional

  70. E.... A....

    BRILLIANT

  71. J.... W....

    Beautiful song, one of their best

  72. M.... L....

    Bono! To dáme...

  73. f.... ....

    she's gonna dream out loud .... but hopefully she's not dreaming about power-mad, unelected tyrants in brussels governing every aspect of our lives!

  74. M.... L....

    I listen to Zoorops way more than Achtung Baby. Incredible album

    M.... L....

    I'm addicted to Achtung Baby, Joshua Tree and Zooropa

  75. A.... S....

    That intro is a Masterpiece, havent heared this for ages, now I'm making up :)

  76. F.... S....

    This album to me was the younger freaky brother of achtung baby ..melodic beauty and wonder..

  77. I.... M....

    Love this. Bono is a cunt.......Torn !!!

  78. J.... K....

    3:45-6:31

  79. M.... P....

    Wow, I never heard this before... It changed my perception of U2 regarding sounds... loved it hahahaha :D

    M.... P....

    Try listening to Pop by U2. Part of what makes them so good is their willingness to change musical direction.

  80. p.... e....

    U22222222 zoooooootv

    Eat to get slimmer 😁👍

  83. a.... l....

    You got the right shoes to get you through the night!

  84. J.... E....

    They,ve been perfish in Budapest...I was there, it was absolutly stunning show ❤

  85. r.... g....

    this is neo-classical rock,,,rr

  86. G.... S....

    so powerful! incredible U2 in those days.

  87. D.... C....

    Una de las aperturas de álbum mas impresionantes. Zoooropa no se parece a nada hecho hasta entonces.

  88. D.... D....

    GREAT...

  89. D.... M....

    Nice cover but the European Union was a failed experiment. Junked and stupidly fighting while getting thrown into the dustbin of history. We as a generation will see the deaths of two social experiments....the European Union and islam....both will go fighting but go they will.
    Chinese communism will die later....a bit later...but go it will too.

    D.... M....

    No, Man; the E.U. was great. When I left University in 1991 there were no jobs so I went abroad to Italy for seven months. Hard work but it was better than languishing on the dole under a Tory administration.

  90. D.... M....

    This track is their zenith.

  91. b.... ....

    El último gran álbum de U2. Todo lo demás es una fórmula repetida hacia el infinito de ésta.

  92. m.... ....

    So ahead of its time. It's describes what it's like over 20 years later

  93. L.... ....

    El concepto de ZooTV pega con los tiempos de hoy en día, no dudo que U2 reviva esa Gira en 2021

    L.... ....

    @Dark Slayer revivieron a Mcphisto en 2016

    L.... ....

    @Lucalo sé pero no me imagino a Macphisto cantando las notas ácidas de Lemon o llamando a Donald Trump desde su teléfono viejo todas las noches

    L.... ....

    @Dark Slayer recuerda que bono dijo que si hiciera algo de Achtung Baby, sería una especie de ZOO.COM, lo dijo en 2017. No sabemos que cambios puede traer esa gira si es que se hace, asi que descartemos lo del teléfono.

    En cuanto a Lemon, se trata de Achtung Baby, no Zooropa

    L.... ....

    @Luca tienes razón, pero Zooropa también formó parte del concepto de Zoo TV en su etapa final este álbum representa el avance tecnológico y musical en las giras de U2 y en mi opinión es aún todavía muy infravalorado sería genial que ambos recibieran un gran homenaje mucho mejor que el de Joshua Tree.

    L.... ....

    @Spectral Killer imagino que, si incluyen algo de "Zooropa" en el Setlist, sería Stay y Zooropa, Me encantaría que vuelvan a tocar Numb o The Wanderer

  94. d.... ....

    One of the few songs I sing as loud as I can....love it

  95. T.... ....

    Turn it up LOUD when stuck in traffic...

  96. d.... s....

    Brexit exists.

  97. K.... K....

    Thanks and love this one and Achtung Baby too.......

    K.... K....
