The Iceman — текст песни (Bruce Springsteen)

Sleepy town aint got the guts to budge

Baby this emptiness has already been judged

I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

Youre a strange part of me youre a preachers girl

And I dont want no piece of this mechanical world

Got my arms open wide and my blood is running hot



Well take the midnight road right to the devils door

And even the white angels of eden with their flaming swords

Wont be able to stop us from hitting town in this dirty old ford

Well it dont take no nerve when you got nothing to guard

I got tombstone in my eyes and Im running real hard

My baby was a lover and the world just blew her away



Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right out of my head

Well baby they didnt know that I was born dead

I am the iceman, fighting for the right to live

I say better than the glory roads of heaven

Better off riding hell-bound in the dirt

Better than bright line of the freeway

Better than the shadows of your daddys church

Better than the hands of waiting (? )

Baby better off is the search
