Bruce Springsteen - ZERO AND BLIND TERRY

Album:

The Skulls met the Pythons
Down at the First Street station
Alliance has 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
The Pythons are down from old Englishtown
And they 're looking to do some living

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 had found a love
That burned like wild fire
Now Terry's dad understood
That this zero was no good
A tramp, 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 streets
Well like tomorrow the earth
Is gonna catch on fire

Now Terry's dad hired some troopers
To kill zero and bring Terry back home
They caught up in the night, like firelightThem starlight troopers....
Zero marches through Terry's field
They met the Pythons down on Route Nine
But they refused to yield
Now the Pythons fought with blazed guns
And the troopers with swords of light
And Zero and Terry they ran away
And the gang fought all through the night

Now some folks say
Zero and Terry got away
Other said they were caught and brought back
Ah, still young pilgrims to this day
Go to that spot way down by the railroad tracks
Where the troopers met the Pythons
Old timers cry on a hot August night
If you look hard enough, if you try
You'll see Zero and Terry and all the Pythons
Just hiking them streets up in the sky.
