U2 The Crystal Ballroom song lyrics

Life begins with the first glance

The first kiss at the first dance

All of us are wondering why we're here

In the crystal ballroom underneath the chandelier

Wet the glass till the glasses sing

We punish our hearts till the heart bells ring

Cos where we come from we're not always kind

The human story is what love leaves behind

We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place

We're the ghosts of love in every face

In the ballroom of the crystal lights

Everyone's here with me tonight

Everyone but you

Our first chance, is their last dance

Our life is shaped by another's hands

Buttoning unbuttoning her Coco dress

Stopping and unstopping every cold caress

Born for bliss, born for this

Every human life begins with a kiss

Kissed by every kind of possibility

And everyone is here tonight with me

We're the ghosts of love and we haunt this place

We're the ghosts of love in every face

In the ballroom of the crystal lights

Everyone's here with me tonight

Everyone but you

Everyone but you
