Bruce Springsteen - The 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 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
