Bullet The Blue Sky -- U2

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.

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.

Now this guy 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
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. Up the staircase to the first floor  We 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, is America  Outside, is America  America. See across the field  See the sky ripped open  See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound  Howlin' the women and children  Who run into the arms  Of  america.                                                            (sing365)
