Lyrics Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out - Live at The Shrine, Los Angeles, CA - 11/16/1990- Set 2 - Bruce Springsteen

Tear drops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
It's like whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Everybody better move over, that's all
I'm runnin' on the bad side
With my back to the wall now

Tenth avenue, tenth avenue
Tenth avenue

I was stranded in the jungle
Tryin' to take in all the heat they was giving
All night, the night is dark and the sidewalks bright
Lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner, things got real quiet real fast

I walked into a
Tenth avenue, tenth avenue
Tenth avenue

Well I'm all alone, I'm all alone
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
And I can't find my way home

When now they made a change uptown
And the Big Man joined the band (whoa!)
From the coastline to the city
The little pretties raise their hands, oh yeah
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
Oh, when Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half with the

Tenth avenue, tenth avenue
Tenth avenue, oh I'm talkin' 'bout the
Tenth avenue, tenth avenue
Tenth avenue

They did nothin' about the tenth
Oh, just alone tenth
Ain't nothing about the tenth
All the oh long
"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out"
Oh yeah
