bullet the blue sky lyrics

In the howling wind, comes a stinging rain
See them driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, red orange glow
I see the face of fear runnin' scared in the valley below
(Sky)
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
(Sky)
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

Bullet the blue sky
(Sky)
Bullet the blue sky
(Sky)
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
You'll plant a demon seed, you'll raise a flower on fire
I see them burnin' crosses, see the flames higher and higher

(Bullet the blue sky)
Bullet the blue
(Sky)
Bullet the blue
(Sky)
Bullet the blue sky
(Sky)
Bullet the blue sky
(Sky)
Bullet the blue
(Sky)
Bullet the blue
(Sky)
Yeah, I love you

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 peelin' off those dollar bills
Slappin' them down
One hundred, two hundred

And I can see those fighter planes
I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the valleys in a quiet city streets
We take the staircase to the first floor
We 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 back in my hotel room
The children can't trade with the law supreme
In the next room I hear some women scream out
At her lovers," Turn it off, turn it off, the television"
But I can't tell the difference between ABC news, Hill Street Blues
And a preacher in the ol' time Gospel hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
For the God I believe in, isn't short of cash, Mister
But I feel along the way from the hills of San Salvador
Blue skies ripped open
And the rain pours through a gapin' wound
Pelting the women and children
Pelting the women and children
Run, run
Into the arms of America
