BULLET THE BLUE SKY - U2 In the howling wind comes a stinging rain see it driving nails into souls of the tree od pain from the firefly, a red orange glow see the face of fear running scared in the valley below CHORUS: 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 plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire see them burning crosses see the flames, higher an higher CHORUS So 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 peeling off those dollar bills slapping them down one hundred, two hundred and I can see those fighters planes across the mud huts as the children sleep through the alleys of a quiet city street we take the staircase to the first floor we turn the key and slowly unlock the door this man breathes into his saxophone through the walls we hear the city groan outside it's America outside it's America so across the fields see the sky ripped open see the rain pour through a gaping wound pelting the women and children who run into the arms of America
