Bruce Springsteen - Song To The Orphans songtekst

Je score:

The moltitude assembled and tried to make the noise

The black blind poet generals

and restless loud white boys

But time grew thin and the axis

Was left somehow incomplete

Where instead of child lions

We found aging junkie sheep

How many wasted have I seen signed "Hollywood or bust"

Left to ride them ever ghostly Arizona gusts

Oh, cheerleader tramps and kids with big amps

Sounding in the void

High society vamps and ex-heavyweight champs

Mistaking soot for soil



So break me now Big Mama

As Old Faithful breaks the day

Believe me, my good Linda,

The aurora will shine your way

The Confederacy, she's in my name now

And the hounds are held at bay

The axis needs a stronger arm

Do you feel your muscles play?



The doorstep blanket weaver

Madonna she's  pushing bells

From house to house to house to house

Giving last kisses and wishing well

To every gypsy, mystic and all star hero

That the kids might find the place

Who've been lost forever to papa and mama

On their weekends out in space

Now the sons they search for fathers

But their fathers have all gone

The lost souls search for saviors

But saviours don't last long

Those aimless, questionless renegade brats

Who live their lives in songs

They run the length of a candle

In a goodnight whisper and a puff they're gone

So break me now Big Mama

As Old Faithful breaks the day

Believe me, my good Linda,

The aurora will shine your way

The Confederacy, she's in my name now

And the hounds are held at bay

The axis needs a stronger arm

Do you feel your muscles play?



The missions are filled with hermits looking for a friend

The terraces are filled with cat-men looking for a way in

There are orphans junked on silver mountains

Lost in celestial alleyways

They wait for that old tramp Dog Man Moses

He takes in all the strays

"Now, don't grow on empty legends

or lonely cradle songs

'Cause Billy The Kid was just a bowery boy

Who made his living twirling his guns"

The night she's long, she's lanky

She speaks in her mother tongue

And lullabies the refugees

With an amplifier's hum



So break us now Big Mama

As Old Faithful breaks the day

Believe me, my sweet Linda,

Oh, help is sure on the way

The Confederacy, she's in my name now

And the hounds are held at bay

The axis needs a stronger arm

Do you feel your muscles play?

The Confederacy, she's in my name now

And the hounds are held at bay

The axis needs a stronger arm

Do you feel your muscles play?
