  • Come all you stars falling out of the sky
    Come all you angels forgetting to fly
    Come all who feel we're not on our own
    All UFOs come on your way home
    Alone, that's no way to be carrying on
    Come on, we're betting on a future that's long
    Gone, in look of a song
    You just have to be right one more time then you're wrong

    Atomic City (Atomic)
    Oh, oh
    Atomic City (Atomic)
    Oh, oh

    I'm free
    Where you are is where I'll be
    I'm free
    So unexpectedly

    Come all who serve above and below
    Come all believers and all who don't know
    Come quick, come soon, comme ci, comme ça
    Then you dive into your eyes and blah blah blah
    Guitars, she pulls the strings et cetera
    Sinatra swings, a choir sings
    Love is God and God is love
    And if your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough

    Atomic City (Atomic)
    Oh, oh
    Atomic City
    Atomic Sun for everyone
    For everyone

    Roll the dice
    That's roulette
    The beat has not stopped
    Speeding yet

    I'm free
    Where you are is where I'll be
    I'm free
    So unexpectedly

    I'm free
    I see what's in front of me
    And your freedom is contagious
    What you've got I wanna be
    I'm free
    It took me my whole life
    I got the keys to the cages
    I'm ready for bright lights
    I'm free
    I came here for the fight
    I'm front row in Las Vegas
    And there's a big one on tonight Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Bono, Debbie Harry, Girogio Moroder, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
