"Fast Cars" video

 

My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who's calling

My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars
Will do me no good

I'm going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot of fun
They're in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch them channel hop
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
I want the lot of what you've got
If what you've got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to be right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars
Will do me no good

Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind
Don't you worry about your mind

You should worry about the day
That the pain it goes away
You know I miss mine sometimes

There is no fiction
That will truly fit the situation
I'm documenting every detail
Every conversation
I'm not used to talking to somebody in their body
Look, there's somebody in a body, somebody in a body

Composed by U2 / lyrics by Bono and The Edge

About "Fast Cars"

From the original U2 Album "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" (22 November 2004)

"Fast Cars" is the bonus track on the Japanese, UK, and collector's edition versions of U2's eleventh studio album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. "Fast Cars" is the only known song from the album's recording sessions with lyrics that directly reference the album's title. The Jacknife Lee Mix is included on two singles—"All Because of You" and "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own".

Even though it wasn't released on the mass market American version of the album, the Latin-rooted song was played live in a large amount of shows during the third leg of the Vertigo Tour, after making its live debut September 12th, 2005 in Toronto. An early demo of this song, later released on iTunes exclusive The Complete U2 digital box set, was called "Xanax and Wine". [From Wikipedia]
