U2 – Bullet the Blue Sky Lyrics

Artist: U2
Song: Bullet the Blue Sky

In the howlin’ wind
Comes a stingin’ rain
See it drivin’ nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain

From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Runnin’ scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome

You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
We see them burnin’ crosses
See the flames, higher and higher

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he’s peelin’ off those dollar bills

(Slappin’ ’em down)
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes

Across the mud huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
And take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door

As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside, it’s America
Outside, it’s America

America
See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin’ through the gapin’ wound

Pelting the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America
