Bullet the Blue Sky (2021 Remaster)

In the howlin' wind

Comes a stingin' rain

See it drivin' nails

Into the souls on the tree of pain

From the firefly

A red-orange glow

See the face of fear

Runnin' scared in the valley below

Whoa-whoa

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

You see them burnin' crosses

See the flames, higher and higher

Whoa-whoa

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue, bullet the blue

The sky comes up to me

His face is red like a rose on a thorn bush

Like all the colours of a royal flush

And he's peelin' off those dollar bills

Slappin' 'em down

One hundred, two hundred

And I can see those fighter planes

And I can see those fighter planes

Across the tin huts as children sleep

Through the alleys of a quiet city street

You take the staircase to the first floor

Turn the key and slowly unlock the door

As a man breathes into his saxophone

And through the walls, you hear the city groan

Outside is America, outside is America!

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue

Runnin' into the arms of America

Into the arms of America
