Tenth Avenue Freeze Out Lyrics - Singles - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

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 

Well, I was stranded in the jungle trying to take in 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 the Tenth Avenue freeze-out 

Tenth Avenue freeze-out 

Tenth Avenue freeze-out 

Tenth Avenue freeze 

I'm talking 'bout a Tenth 

Oh, nothing but a Tenth 

I'm talking 'bout a Tenth 

I'm talking bout a Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth 

Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, I'm talking 'bout a 

Tenth Avenue freeze-out...
