Lyrics:

You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt.

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on a beach.
Well you tell me things
I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach.

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 'cos I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cos I needed revenge.
Well you lied to me 'cos I asked you to.
Baby, can we still be friends?

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?

Ah, the deeper I spin
Ah, 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.
Hallelujah! Heaven's white rose
The doors you open I just can't close.

Don't turn around, don't turn around again.
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 saltwater kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

    Bono has never looked cooler than in this video!!

    How can this be almost 30 years old and still so fresh and unique. The genius that is Achtung Baby only increases through the passage of time. It’s a perfect album and this song is the jewel in the crown
  • @DCrane925
    I can't handle how handsome and hot Bono in this video
  • @Jamescreaney
    The sound of Dublin in the 90s. Powerful. Innocent. Pure.
  • @nancydemoss7904
    Achtung Baby was a masterpiece! Every song is amazing on its own but the entire album is a treasure!!
  • @Halotest100
    A real hidden gem. For young people discovering U2 they are in for a real treat. What a catalogue of songs to discover.

    This and Faraway so close are their 2 most well written and most underrated songs.
  • @notsusan
    seriously not a bad song on this whole damn album
  • @33alwright
    I absolutely love this song.. There's a passion in his voice when the chorus is sung.. The hairs on my neck tell me I'm right.. The song lifts my spirits every time I play it..

    When U2 were the greatest band in the world. Their music was powerful and above all utterly beautiful. U2 was the band of my generation and I am so grateful for that. Thank you lads.

    I simply cannot believe that this album is 28 years old.
  • @ronnieneo
