[Green Day, U2 - The Saints Are Coming lyrics]

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
God, I know I'm one

I cried to my daddy on
The telephone: "How long now"?
Until the clouds unroll and you come down
The line went but the shadows still remain
Since your descent, your descent

I cried to my daddy on
The telephone: "How long now"?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home
The line went but the shadows still remain
Since your descent, your descent

Boom, cha, hey!

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now?
Until a weather change condemns belief
How long now?
When the night watchman lets in the thief
What's wrong now?

Boom, cha, hey!

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realise there's no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realise there's no reply
I say no matter how I try
I realise there's no reply
I say no matter how I try
I realise there's no reply
