NLOTH Lyrics
I know a girl who’s like a sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah, oh
One day she’s still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah, oh
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
I know a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infinity’s a great place to start
Oh
“Time is irrelevant, it’s not linear”
Then she put her tongue in my ear
Oh, oh
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I try to rewind, love, and replay
Every night I have the same dream
I’m hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh
I’m a traffic cop, Rue du Marais
The sirens are wailing
But it’s me that wants to get away
Oh
No line on the horizon
No, no line
No, no line on the orizon
No, no line
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah, oh
One day she’s still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah, oh
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
I know a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infinity’s a great place to start
Oh
“Time is irrelevant, it’s not linear”
Then she put her tongue in my ear
Oh, oh
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I try to rewind, love, and replay
Every night I have the same dream
I’m hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh
I’m a traffic cop, Rue du Marais
The sirens are wailing
But it’s me that wants to get away
Oh
No line on the horizonNo, no line
No, no line on the orizon
No, no line

6 Rattle and Hums:

After listening to it some more...it is still hard to decipher Bono in that next verse but here is what I hear (it is pretty funny, because those last few verses are only partial, maybo other people can fill in the blanks...

NO LINE ON THE HORIZON
NO LINE

What is going to be hilarious is when the lyrics come out and we can see just how wrong I am...LOL!
That's just a best guess, but hey, I figured you all would like to know as much as possible...
Who else has heard it?
The more I listen to it the more I love it!
Thanks Heather!
Wow that is embarrassing. LOL!
The Album version is different from the version I first heard!
F'n cool.
Thanks for this website btw, I have been here lots!
It's a solid song. Jaws would have eaten it though.
