You can reach
But you can't grab it
You can hold it, control it
No but, you can't bag it

You can push
But you can't direct it
Circulate, regulate, oh no
You cannot connect it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff

You get confused
But you know it
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, love
You don't always show it

Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque

Let's go
Let's go
Discotheque

Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head

It's not a trick
'Cause you can't learn it
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay
'Cause you can't earn it

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff

Let's go
Let's go, ah
Discotheque

Go go
Go go, ha
Discotheque

Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head

Love
(You want heaven in your heart)
(Heaven in your heart)
(The sun, the moon, and the stars)

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
But you know there's something more
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Ha ha
Ha ha
Ha ha
Ha ha

(Boom Cha) (Boom Cha) Discotheque (I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom Cha) (Boom Cha) Discotheque (I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom Cha) (Boom Cha) Discotheque (I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom Cha) (Boom Cha) Discotheque (I can't get, I can't, not enough)
(Boom Cha) (Boom Cha) Discotheque
(Boom Cha) (Boom Cha) Discotheque

    This song to me is about going out and having a good time. I have a live version of it and in the beginning of the song Bono says,"This is a little riddle about love." I can understand that by reading the lyrics, too. Discotheque is French for a dance club just F.Y.I.
