Song To The Orphans Lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

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?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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? 

Photos 

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?
