Lyrics
In the howlin' wind Comes a stingin' rain See him drivin' nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly A red orange glow I see the face of fear Runnin' scared in the valley below Sky (Woo-ooh) Sky (Woo-ooh) Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue (Sky) Bullet the blue (Sky) In the locust wind Comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel Angel was overcome You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire We see them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher Sky (Woo-ooh) Sky (Woo-ooh) Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue (Sky) Bullet the blue (Sky) (Ooh, yeah) Suit and tie comes up to me His face 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 I can see those fighter planes I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the valleys and the quiet city streets We take the first four of the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door A man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan Outside, it's America Outside, it's America (Hey) (Oh, no, oh) So I went walkin' And the air was cool and clean And I fell a million miles away From the smoke filled Fire filled, hills of Salvadore Where I saw the sky ripped open The rain pourin' through a gapin' wound Pelting the women and children Pelting the women and children Who run Who run Into the arms
