Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
By Bruce Springsteen

Tear drops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well everybody better move over, that's all
‘cause I'm running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out


I'm stranded in the jungle
Taking all the heat they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast

I walked into a
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out


And I'm all alone, I'm all alone (And kid you better get the picture)
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own

And I can't go home


When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half

With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
