Текст песни Lost in the Flood - Bruce Springsteen
The
ragamuffin
gunner
is
returnin'
home
Like
a
hungry
runaway
He
walks
through
town
all
alone
"He
must
be
from
the
fort"
He
hears
the
high
school
girls
say
His
countryside's
burnin'
with
wolfman
fairies
Dressed
in
drag
for
homicide
They
hit
and
run,
plead
sanctuary
'Neath
a
holy
stone
they
hide
They're
breakin'
beams
and
crosses
With
a
spastic's
reelin'
perfection
Nuns
run
bald
through
Vatican
halls
pregnant
Pleadin'
immaculate
conception
And
everybody's
wrecked
on
Main
Street
From
drinking
unholy
blood
Sticker
smiles
sweet
as
gunner
breathes
deep
His
ankles
caked
in
mud
And
I
said,
"Hey,
gunner
man,
that's
quicksand
That's
quicksand
that
ain't
mud
Have
you
thrown
your
senses
to
the
war
Or
did
you
lose
them
in
the
flood?"
That
pure
American
brother
Dull-eyed
and
empty-faced
Races
Sundays
in
Jersey
In
a
Chevy
stock
super
eight
He
rides
'er
low
on
the
hip
On
the
side
he's
got
Bound
For
Glory
In
red,
white
and
blue
flash
paint
He
leans
on
the
hood
telling
racing
stories
The
kids
call
him
Jimmy
The
Saint
Well,
that
blaze
and
noise
boy,
he's
gunnin'
that
bitch
Loaded
to
blastin'
point
He
rides
head
first
into
a
hurricane
And
disappears
into
a
point
And
there's
nothin'
left
but
some
blood
where
the
body
fell
That
is
nothin'
left
that
you
could
sell
Just
junk
all
across
the
horizon
A
real
highwayman's
farewell
And
I
said,
"Hey
kid,
you
think
that's
oil?
Man,
that
ain't
oil,
that's
blood"
I
wonder
what
he
was
thinking
when
he
hit
that
storm
Or
was
he
just
lost
in
the
flood?
Eighth
Avenue
sailors
in
satin
shirts
Whisper
in
the
air
Some
storefront
incarnation
of
Maria
She's
puttin'
on
me
the
stare
And
Bronx's
best
apostle
stands
With
his
hand
on
his
own
hardware
Everything
stops,
you
hear
five
quick
shots
The
cops
come
up
for
air
And
now
the
whiz-bang
gang
from
uptown
They're
shootin'
up
the
street
Oh,
that
cat
from
the
Bronx
starts
lettin'
loose
But
he
gets
blown
right
off
his
feet
Oh,
and
some
kid
comes
blastin'
'round
the
corner
But
a
cop
puts
him
right
away
He
lays
on
the
street
holding
his
leg
screaming
something
in
Spanish
StIll
breathing
when
I
walked
away
And
someone
said,
"Hey
man,
did
you
see
that?
His
body
hit
the
street
with
such
a
beautiful
thud"
I
wonder
what
that
dude
was
sayin'
Or
was
he
just
lost
in
the
flood?
"Hey
man,
did
you
see
that?
Lord,
those
poor
cats
are
sure
messed
up"
I
wonder
what
they
were
gettin'
into
Or
were
they
all
just
lost
in
the
flood?
Were
they
lost,
oh,
tell
me,
tell
me,
man
Were
they
lost?
