Bullet The Blue Sky Lyrics by U2

Bullet The Blue Sky Lyrics


    In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
    See it driving nails into the souls on a tree of pain
    ]From the firefly a red-orange glow
    I see the face of fear
    Running scared in the valley below
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue sky

    In locust wind comes a rattle and hum
    Judith wrestled the angel
    And the angel was overcome
    She had a demon seed
    She rase flower of fire
    I see her burning crosses
    I see the flames higher and higher
    Bullet the blue sky
    Bullet the blue sky

    And I see her come up to me
    Her dress red
    Like a rose on a thorn bush
    Like all the colors of a royal flush
    And she's pealing off those dollar bills
    And slapping them down
    One hundred
    Two hundred
    And I can see those fighter planes
    And I can see those fighter planes
    Across the mud huts where the children sleep
    Through the alleys and quiet city streets
    Up a staircase to the first floor
    I turn the key and slowly unlock the door
    A man breathes into a saxophone
    Through the walls we hear the city groan
    Outside it's America
    Outside it's America

    'So I'm back in my hotel room,
    With Johnnie Coltrane and the love supreme,
    In the next room I hear some woman scream out,
    That her lover's turning off,
    Turning on the television,
    I can't tell the difference between :-
    ABC news, Hill Street Blues
    And some preacher in the old time gospel hour
    Stealing money from the sick and the old
    Well the God I believe in ain't short of cash Mister !!'

    See across the view
    See the sky ripped open
    See the rain pounding the women and children
    Who run
    Into the arms of America......
