Lost in the Flood - Bruce Springsteen[00:00:01]
The ragamuffin gunner is returning home[00:00:04]
Like a hungry runaway[00:00:07]
He walks through town all alone[00:00:12]
He must be from the fort he hears[00:00:15]
The high school girls say[00:00:17]
His countrysides burning with wolfman[00:00:20]
Fairies dressed in drag for homicide[00:00:23]
The hit and run plead sanctuary[00:00:28]
Neath a holy stone they hide[00:00:33]
They're breaking beams[00:00:37]
And crosses with a spastics reeling perfection[00:00:39]
Nuns run bald through vatican halls pregnant[00:00:46]
Pleading immaculate conception[00:00:50]
And everybodys wrecked on[00:00:54]
Main street from drinking unholy blood[00:00:56]
Sticker smiles sweet as gunner breathes deep[00:01:02]
His ankles caked in mud[00:01:06]
And I said hey gunner man thats quicksand[00:01:11]
Thats quicksand that ain't mud[00:01:16]
Have you thrown your senses to the war[00:01:20]
Or did you lose them in the flood[00:01:23]
That pure american brother[00:01:29]
Dull-eyed and empty-faced[00:01:34]
Races sundays in jersey in a chevy stock super eight[00:01:38]
He rides 'er low on the hip[00:01:46]
On the side hes got bound for glory in red[00:01:47]
White and blue flash paint[00:01:51]
He leans on the hood telling racing stories[00:01:54]
The kids call him jimmy the[00:01:58]
Saint[00:02:00]
Wegll the blaze and noise boy[00:02:04]
Hes gunning that bitch loaded to blasting point[00:02:06]
He rides head first into a hurricane[00:02:12]
And disappears into a point[00:02:16]
And theres nothing left[00:02:19]
But some blood where the body fell[00:02:21]
That is nothing left that you could sell[00:02:23]
Just junk all across the horizon[00:02:27]
A real highwaymans farewell[00:02:31]
And he said hey kid you think thats oil man[00:02:37]
That ain't oil thats blood[00:02:41]
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm[00:02:44]
Or was he just lost in the flood[00:02:48]
Eighth avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air[00:02:58]
Some storefront incarnation of maria[00:03:06]
She's putting on me the stare[00:03:10]
And bronxs best apostle stands with[00:03:14]
His hand on his own hard ware[00:03:19]
Everything stops you hear five[00:03:23]
Quick shots the cops come up for air[00:03:26]
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown[00:03:31]
They're shooting up the street[00:03:34]
And that cat from the bronx starts letting loose[00:03:38]
But he gets blown right off his feet[00:03:42]
And some kid comes blasting round the corner[00:03:46]
But a cop puts him right away[00:03:50]
He lays on the street[00:03:53]
Holding his leg screaming something in spanish[00:03:55]
Still breathing when I walked away[00:03:58]
And someone said hey man did you see[00:04:02]
That his body hit the street with[00:04:05]
Such a beautiful thud[00:04:08]
I wonder what the dude was saying[00:04:11]
Or was he just lost in the flood[00:04:14]
Hey man did you see that[00:04:18]
Those poor cats are sure messed up[00:04:21]
I wonder what they were getting into[00:04:25]
Or were they just lost in the flood[00:04:29]
