The opening and titular track of No Line on the Horizon envisions U2’s musical career as a voyage by sea which is far from over — to the point where the “horizon” is still a blurry border with no features or destinations in sight.

[Verse 1]
I know a girl who's like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
One day she's still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, ooh
[Chorus]
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
[Verse 2]
I know a girl, a hole in her heart
She said, "Infinity's a great place to start"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
"Time is irrelevant, it's not linear"
Then she put her tongue in my ear
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
[Bridge]
The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause and try to rewind
Oh, and replay-ay-ay
[Verse 3]
Every night I have the same dream
I'm hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm a traffic cop, rue du Marais
The siren's wailing, but it's me that wants to get away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, ooh hoo
[Chorus]
No line on the horizon
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
