Bruce Springsteen - Lost In The Flood Lyrics

Send "Lost In The Flood" ringtone to your cell

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 wolfmen

Fairies dressed in drag for homicide The 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 that holy 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 the 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 And

That cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose but

He gets blown right off his feet 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 somebody said "Hey man

Did you see that? His body hit the street with

Such a beautiful thud" I wonder what the dude

Was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood? Hey

Man did you see that those poor cats are sure

Messed up I wonder what they was gettin' into or

We they all lost in flood?
