Bruce Springsteen - Zero and Blind Terry lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Zero and Blind Terry lyrics]
The Skulls met the Pythons down
At the First Street station
Alliances have been made in alleyways
All across the nation
These boys live off the milk of a silver jet
And the love of sweet young women
Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown
And they're looking to do some livin'
Well the leader of the Pythons is
A kid they just call Zero
Now Terry's pop says these kids
Are some kind of monsters
But Terry says "No, pop
They're just plain heroes"
Zero and Terry
They found a love that burns like wildfire
Now Terry's daddy understood that this
Zero was no good a child, a thief and a liar
Well from out of the darkness
That breaks the dawn zero rode like twilight
He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry
Come on" terry come on, tonight is the night
Pack your bags, baby
And together they ran like
Reindeers through the street like tomorrow
The earth was gonna catch on fire
Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill
Zero and bring Terry back home
They crawled up in the night like firelight
Now snow-white troopers from the
Council of crime
Rode silver foxes through Terry's field
Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9
But they refused to yield
The Pythons fought with buzz guns
And the troopers with swords like light
And Zero and Terry they ran away
And the gang fought all through the night
Well now some folks say Zero
And Terry got away
Other said they were caught and brought back
But still young pilgrims to this day
Go to that spot way down
By the railroad track
Where the Troopers met the Pythons
Old timers cry on a hot August night
If you look hard enough, if you try
You'll catch Zero and Terry
And all the Pythons
Oh just hiking them streets up in the sky
Just walkin'
Hiking the streets up in the sky
Just hiking the streets up in the sky
The streets in the sky
Just hiking the streets hey Zero
At the First Street station
Alliances have been made in alleyways
All across the nation
These boys live off the milk of a silver jet
And the love of sweet young women
Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown
And they're looking to do some livin'
Well the leader of the Pythons is
A kid they just call Zero
Now Terry's pop says these kids
Are some kind of monsters
But Terry says "No, pop
They're just plain heroes"
Zero and Terry
They found a love that burns like wildfire
Now Terry's daddy understood that this
Zero was no good a child, a thief and a liar
Well from out of the darkness
That breaks the dawn zero rode like twilight
He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry
Come on" terry come on, tonight is the night

Hiking the streets up in the sky
Just hiking the streets up in the sky
The streets in the sky
Just hiking the streets hey Zero
