Man this song used to drag massively for me, now it's my favourite on the album. I love the seemingly Lanois influenced drum beat and slow building simmering Eno atmosphere, It sounds almost mechanical, the atmosphere, akin to something like Down All The Days and Numb,
you don't if it's fear or desire, danger the drug that takes you higher - great line
I love the part when the song takes a change of direction for the last chorus:
She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing, her movements something else
Oh, love, like a screaming flower
Love dying every hour
Ah, you don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher?
Head of heaven, fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot
Listening to this part the other day I kind of got this sudden wave of realization about just how staggering good Achtung Baby is, musically and lyrically and this song could be Bono's lyrical masterpiece
