Bullet the Blue Sky

from U2's The Joshua Tree


{{{In the howling wind comes a stinging rain///
See it driving nails !!!!!
Into the {{{SOULS}}} on the tree of PAIN
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of FEAR
Running SCARED in the valley below

!!!!!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
You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses+++
See the flames hig her and hig her

!!!!!Bullet!!!!! the blue sky
!!!!!Bullet!!!!! the blue sky
!!!!!Bullet!!!!! the blue
!!!!!Bullet!!!!! the blue

This guy comes up to me
His face RED like a ROSE on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those $$$$$ DOLLAR BILLS $$$$$
Slapping them down
One hundred 100, two hundred 200
And I can@see@ those fighter planes
And I can@see@ those fighter planes
Across the mudhuts where THE CHILDREN sleep
Thru the alleys of a quiet city street
You take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly un-lock the door
As a man breathes into a saxofone
And IIthru the wallsII you hear the city groooaaan
Outside is ^^^A M E R I C A^^^
Outside is ^^^A M E R I C A^^^

Across the field you see the s--k--y-------r--i--p--p--e--d open
See the rain ///// through a gaping wound(--)
Pounding !!!!! on THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN?
Who run
Into the arms
V Of ^^^A M E R I C A^^^ V
