Love is a theme U2 has continued to explore throughout their careers. This is more than just a love song- it’s about sexual jealousy and insights into the eternal struggles that come with love. Sex is prevalent here as well, especially in the references to oral sex. Bono said, “There are a lot of references to oral sex on the record. It’s a very equal position. Don’t try this at home.”

You’re dangerous, ’cause you’re honest
You’re dangerous, ’cause you don’t know what you want
Well you left my heart
Empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey
You’re an accident… Waiting to happen
You’re a piece of glass… Left there on the beach
Well you tell me things…
I know you’re not supposed to
Then you leave me… Just out of reach
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la la
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Well you stole it, ’cause I needed the cash
And you killed it, ’cause I needed revenge
Well you lied to me, ’cause I asked you to
Baby… Can we still be friends?
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la la
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna fall at the foot of thee?
The deeper I spin
The hunter will sin … For your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain…
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing…
At you and me…
Halluijah, heavens white rose
The doors you open…
I just can’t close
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around
Don’t turn around your gypsy heart
Don’t turn around, don’t turn around again
Don’t turn around and don’t look back
Come on now love… Don’t you look back
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who’s gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who’s gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who’s gonna take the place of me?
Who’s gonna ride your wild horses?
Who could tame the heart of thee?
