Текст песни Iceman - Live at Tower Theater, Upper Darby, PA - 5/17/2005 - Bruce Springsteen

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, a preacher's girl
And I don't want no piece of this mechanical world
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 flamin' 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 tombstones in my eyes, and I'm running hard
Baby, you're a lover and the world just blew you away
Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right out of my head
But 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 the bright lines of the freeway
In the shadows of your daddy's church
Better than the waiting
Better off is the search
