BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Zero And Blind Terry lyrics

rate me

The Skulls met the Pythons

Down at the First Street station

Alliances have been made in alleyways

All across the nation

These boys live off the milk of a silver jet

And the love of sweet young women

Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown

And they're looking to do some livin'

Well the leader of the Pythons

Is a kid they just call Zero

Now Terry's pop says these kids are some kind of monsters

But Terry says "No, pop, they're just plain heroes"

Zero and Terry they found a love that burnes like wildfire

Now Terry's daddy understood that this Zero was no good

A child, a thief and a liar

Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn

Zero rode like twilight

He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry, come on"

Terry come on, tonight is the night

Pack your bags, baby

And together they ran like reindeers through the street

Like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch on fire

Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home

They crawled up in the night

Like firelight

Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime

Rode silver foxes through Terry's field

Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9 but they refused to yield

The Pythons fought with buzz guns

And the troopers with swords like light

And Zero and Terry they ran away

And the gang fought all through the night

Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away

Other said they were caught and brought back

But still young pilgrims to this day

Go to that spot way down by the railroad track

Where the Troopers met the Pythons

Old timers cry on a hot August night

If you look hard enough, if you try

You'll catch Zero and Terry and all the Pythons

Oh just hiking them streets of the sky

Just walkin', hiking the streets of the sky

Just hiking the streets of the sky

Hey Zero
