Bruce Springsteen - Iceman lyrics

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 flamin' 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 tombstones 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 but 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 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
