Bruce Springsteen - Zero And Blind Terry Lyrics
The skulls met the pythonsDown at the first street stationAlliance has been made in alleywaysAll across the nationThese boys live off the milk of a silver jetAnd the love of sweet young womenThe pythons are down from old englishtownAnd they 're looking to do some livingWell the leader of the pythonsIs a kid they just call zeroNow terry's pop says these kidsAre some kind of monstersBut terry says "no, popThey're just plain heroes"Zero and terry had found a loveThat burned like wild fireNow terry's dad understoodThat this zero was no goodA tramp, a thief and a liarWell from out of the darknessThat breaks the dawnZero rode like twilightHe said "tonight's the nightBlind terry come onTerry come onTonight is the nightPack your bags baby"And together they ran like reindeersThrough the streetsWell like tomorrow the earthIs gonna catch on fireNow terry's dad hired some troopersTo kill zero and bring terry back homeThey caught up in the night, like firelightthem starlight troopers....Zero marches through terry's fieldThey met the pythons down on route nineBut they refused to yieldNow the pythons fought with blazed gunsAnd the troopers with swords of lightAnd zero and terry they ran awayAnd the gang fought all through the nightNow some folks sayZero and terry got awayOther said they were caught and brought backAh, still young pilgrims to this dayGo to that spot way down by the railroad tracksWhere the troopers met the pythonsOld timers cry on a hot august nightIf you look hard enough, if you tryYou'll see zero and terry and all the pythonsJust hiking them streets up in the sky.
