Iceman Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Iceman

Sleepy town aint got the guts to budge
Baby, this emptiness has already been judged
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

Youre a strange part of me, youre a preachers girl
And I dont want no piece of this mechanical world
Got my arms open wide and my blood is runnin hot

Well take the midnight road right to the devils door
And even the white angels of eden with their flamin swords
Wont be able to stop us from hittin town in this dirty old ford

Well it dont take no nerve when you got nothin to guard
I got tombstones in my eyes and Im runnin real hard
My baby was a lover and the world just blew her away

Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right outta my head
But baby they didnt know that I was born dead
I am the iceman, fightin for the right to live
I say better than the glory roads of heaven, better off ridin
Hellbound in the dirt, better than the bright lines of the freeway
Better than the shadows of your daddys church
Better than the waiting, baby better off is the search
