[Intro Billie Joe Armstrong] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun Its been the ruin of many a poor boy God, I know Im one [Verse 1 Bono] 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 [Verse 2 Billie Joe Armstrong] 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 [PreChorus] Boom, cha, hey! [Chorus Billie Joe Armstrong Bono] The saints are coming, the saints are coming I say no matter how I try, I realize theres no reply The saints are coming, the saints are coming I say no matter how I try, I realize theres no reply [Verse 3 Bono] 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, whats wrong now? [PreChorus] Boom, cha, hey! [Chorus Billie Joe Armstrong Bono] The saints are coming, the saints are coming I say no matter how I try, I realise theres no reply The saints are coming, the saints are coming I say no matter how I try, I realise theres no reply I say no matter how I try, I realise theres no reply I say no matter how I try, I realise theres no reply
