The Fly (Bono Solo Version)

It’s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It’s no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I didn’t even see you when she walked in the room

It’s no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It’s no secret that a liar won’t believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I’m telling you, child

A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It’s no secret at all

It’s no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It’s no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

Oh love
We shine like a burning star
Were falling from the sky
Tonight

A man will beg
A man will crawl
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It’s no secret at all
