  • 作词 : Springsteen
    [Verse 1]
    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
    This countryside's burnin' with wolfmen fairies dressed in drag for homicide
    They hit and run, plead sanctuary, 'neath the 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
    [Chorus]
    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?
    [Verse 2]
    That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
    Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
    He rides her 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 racin' 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 headfirst 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
    [Chorus]
    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?
    [Verse 3]
    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
    Whoa, 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
    [Chorus]
    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?
    Well, 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?
    [Outro]
    Were they lost, oh, tell me, tell me, man
    Were they lost?
