Bullet The Blue Sky Lyrics - The Joshua Tree - U2

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain 

See it driving 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 

So this guy comes up to me 

His face red like the rose of a thorn bush 

Like all the colours of a royal flush 

And he's peelin off those dollar bills 

Slappin them down 

One hundred 

Two hundred

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And i can see the fighter planes 

i can see the fighter planes 

Across the mudhuts as the children sleep 

Through the alleys of a quiet city street 

up the staircase to the first floor 

Turn the key and slowly unlock the door 

A man breathes into a saxophone 

Through the walls we hear the city groan 

Outside is America 

Outside is America 

*Guitar Solo* 

So back in my hotel room 

Metallic on train and the love supreme 

In the next room we hear a women scream out 

As her lover's turnin' off and turnin' on the television 

I can't tell the difference between ABC news Hill street Blues and a preacher of the old time gospel hour 

stealin' money from the sick and the old 

Well the god I believe in ain't short of cash mister 

I fell along way from the hills of San Salvador 

Where the sky is ripped open 

And the rain pours through a gaping wound 

Pelting the women and children 

Pelting the women and children 

Come on, come on 

Into the arms of America
