lyrics

(Oh, baby child)

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 don't see you when she walks in the room

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

[fly voice]
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

[fat lady voice]
Love...
We shine like a falling star
We're fallin' from the sky...

Tonight

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

[fly voice]
(Oh and love)

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

[fat lady voice]
Love...
We shine like a burning star
We're fallin' from the sky...

Tonight

(Achtung Baby)

[fly voice]
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

[fat lady voice]
Oh love...
We shine like a burning star
We're fallin' from the sky...
Tonight

Love...
We shine like a burning star
We're fallin' from the sky...

Tonight

Oh yeah...

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, yeah, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange
