"Fast Cars" song lyrics by U2






"Fast Cars" Lyrics U2
Fast Cars was an extra song in included on the end of some vesions of U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. This was the only song to have a lyric reference to a bomb. The answer to how one does indeed dismantle an atomic bomb is with love. 

An early version of the song was called "Xanax and Wine".

Fast Cars Lyrics:

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 the locket
Picture in my pocket
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
There in the desert
To dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch you shadow box
Check the stocks, I'm in detox
Want a lot of what you got
What you got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get 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

Child inside
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
Don't you worry 'bout my mind
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
Don't you worry 'bout your mind
You should worry 'bout the day
That the pain, it goes away
You know, I miss mine sometimes

The sides are much too big

There is no fiction
That will truly fit this situation
I'm documenting every detail
Every conversation
Not used to talking to somebody in the body
Somebody in the body
Somebody in the body
