Let go of life and not want it back/to let go of your body as it turns to black

[SkeeK]

I was just listening to mp3s of the Slane show and noticed this for the first time.. these lyrics replace the "True colors fly in blue and black/Bruised silken skies and burning flak" in Bad. I can't help but think this has to be a reference to Bono's father dying.
