The Iceman Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

The 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 running hot

Well take the midnight road right to the devils door
And even the white angels of eden with their flaming swords
Wont be able to stop us from hitting town in this dirty old ford
Well it dont take no nerve when you got nothing to guard
I got tombstone in my eyes and Im 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 didnt 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 daddys church
Better than the hands of waiting [? ]
Baby better off is the search
