U 2 - Bullet The Blue Sky lyrics

rate me

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain

See it drivibg nails into souls on the tree of pain

From the firefly

a red orange scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

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 tie comes up to me

His face red

Like a rose on a thron bush

Like all the colours of a royal flush

And he's peeling off those dollar bills

(Slapping them down)

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 quiet city street

Up the staircase to the first floor

We turn the key and slowly unlock the door

A man breathes deep into saxophone

Through the walls we hear the city groan

Qutside is America

Outside is America
