Artist/Band: U2
Lyrics for Song: Bullet The Blue Sky [live]
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - U2



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 higher and higher



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

Slappin' 'em down, one hundred, two hundred



And I can see those fighter planes

And I can see those fighter planes

Across the mud huts where the children sleep

Through the alleys of a quiet city street

You take the staircase to the first floor



You turn the key and slowly unlock the door

As a man breathes into a saxophone

And through the walls you hear the city groan

Outside it's America, outside it's America



Across the field you see the sky ripped open

See the rain through a gaping wound

Pounding on the women and children

Who run into the arms of America


Bullet The Blue Sky [live]

U2's live rendition of 'Bullet The Blue Sky' captures the band's signature blend of anthemic rock and introspective lyricism. Originally recorded during the Joshua Tree era, the track exemplifies Bono's poetic storytelling and the group's dynamic interplay between electric guitar and atmospheric textures. Performed with the full energy of a concert setting, the recording highlights the band's ability to transform studio compositions into visceral, crowd-engaging experiences. This version underscores the enduring appeal of the song, which has become a staple in their live repertoire, resonating with audiences across generations through its themes of hope and resilience.
