In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher

So this guy comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorn blush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills,
sleppend them down
And he's peeling off those dollar bills,
sleppend them down

And I can see the fighter planes
And I can see the fighter planes
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Across the mud huts as the children sleep
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
Up the staircase to the first floor
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America
