in the howling wind comes a stinging rain see it driving nails into the souls on a tree of pain from the firefly a red-orange glow i see the face of fear running scared in the valley below bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky in locust wind comes a rattle and hum judith wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome she had a demon seed she rase flower of fire i see her burning crosses i see the flames higher and higher bullet the blue sky bullet the blue sky and i see her come up to me her dress red like a rose on a thorn bush like all the colors of a royal flush and she's pealing off those dollar bills and slapping them 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 and quiet city streets up a staircase to the first floor i 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 i'm back in my hotel room, with johnnie coltrane and the love supreme, in the next room i hear some woman scream out, that her lover's turning off, turning on the television, i can't tell the difference between :abc news, hill street blues and some preacher in the old time gospel hour stealing money from the sick and the old well the god i believe in ain't short of cash mister !!" see across the view
