Obscure Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

Lyric

Answer

"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 got a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots/But that coat always had a thread hanging loose."

"Early in the morning the cannoneer cried/I've seen the sailor's warning in the western sky."

"She got sent home from work with a note from the nurse/And that my very own presence would make your condition worse."

"It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute/It's a mad dog's promenade."

"I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at all/But I come when you whisper, I run when you call."

"I shoved my way through the heart of the crowd/Past this sign saying 'this is not allowed'/The way of someone standing straight and shouting out loud."

"The hydriodic acid could burn right through your skin/Leave you coughing up blood in the desert if you breathe those fumes in."

Hint

Answer

"With you I don't hear the minutes ticking by/I don't feel the hours as they fly."

"Come the fall the rain flooded these homes/Here in Ezekial's valley of dry bones."

"Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound."

"Your flag, it flew so high/It drifted in to the sky."

"They can change my name or they can leave it, they can change my story too/They can make me black or Chinese and do things that I never did do."

"Some my wanna die young and gloriously, but taxi cab driver, hey that ain't me."

"I look for connection in some new eyes/But for protection they're tranquilised."
