U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky
from the album "The Joshua Tree"
from the album "Rattle And Hum" (live)
In the howlking wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Suit and tiecomes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he’s peeling off those dollar bills
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see the fighter planes
And I can see the fighter planes
Across the mud huts as the children sleep
Through the alleys of a uiet city street
Up the stiarcase to the first floor
We turn the dey and slowly unlock the door
A man breathless deep into saxaphone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America
