Lost In The Flood (Live) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band[00:00:00]
The ragamuffin gunner is returning home like a hungry runaway[00:00:56]
He walks through town all alone[00:01:03]
"He must be from the fort "[00:01:06]
He hears the high school girls say[00:01:08]
His countryside's burning with wolfman fairies[00:01:11]
Dressed in drag for homicide[00:01:14]
The hit-and-run plead sanctuary [00:01:19]
Neath a holy stone they hide[00:01:23]
They're breaking beams and crosses[00:01:27]
With a spastic's reeling perfection[00:01:31]
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant [00:01:35]
Pleading immaculate conception[00:01:39]
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street[00:01:43]
From drinking unholy blood[00:01:47]
Sticker smiles sweet as Gunner breathes deep [00:01:51]
His ankles caked in mud[00:01:55]
And I said "Hey gunner man that's qucksand [00:02:00]
That's quicksand that ain't mud[00:02:05]
Have you thrown your senses to the war [00:02:09]
Or did you lose them in the flood "[00:02:12]
That pure American brother [00:02:19]
Dull-eyed and empty-faced[00:02:23]
Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight[00:02:27]
He rides er low on the hip [00:02:34]
On the side he's got "Bound for Glory" in red [00:02:36]
White and blue flash paint[00:02:39]
He leans on the hood telling racing stories [00:02:43]
The kids call him Jimmy the Saint[00:02:46]
Well that blaze-and-noise boy [00:02:56]
He's gunning that b**ch loaded to blasting point[00:02:58]
He rides head first into a hurricane[00:03:03]
And disappears into a point[00:03:07]
And there's nothing left[00:03:11]
But some blood where the body fell [00:03:12]
That is nothing left that you could sell[00:03:15]
Just junk all across the horizon [00:03:19]
A real highwayman's farewell[00:03:23]
And I said "Hey kid you think that's oil [00:03:28]
Man that ain't oil that's blood"[00:03:33]
I wonder what he was thinking[00:03:36]
When he hit that storm [00:03:38]
Or was he just lost in the flood [00:03:41]
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin[00:03:58]
Shirts whisper in the air[00:04:00]
Some storefront incarnation of Maria [00:04:05]
She's putting on me the stare[00:04:09]
And Bronx's best apostle stands[00:04:13]
With his hand on his own hardware[00:04:17]
Everything stops you hear five quick shots [00:04:21]
The cops come up for air[00:04:25]
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown [00:04:31]
They're shooting up the street[00:04:34]
And that cat from the Bronx starts letting loose [00:04:38]
But he gets blown right off his feet[00:04:42]
And some kid comes blasting around the corner [00:04:46]
But a cop puts him right away[00:04:50]
He lays on the street holding his leg [00:04:54]
Screaming something in Spanish [00:04:55]
Still breathing when I walked away[00:04:58]
And somebody said "Hey man [00:05:02]
Did you see that His body hit the street[00:05:05]
With such a beautiful thud"[00:05:08]
I wonder what the dude was saying [00:05:11]
Or was he just lost in the flood [00:05:15]
He said Hey man did you see that [00:05:18]
Those poor cats are sure messed up[00:05:22]
I wonder what they were getting into [00:05:26]
Or were they just lost in the flood[00:05:30]
