Bruce Springsteen - For You Lyrics
Princess cards she sends me with her regardsBarroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hardWounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undauntedTo her cheshire smile. Ill stand on file, shes all I ever wantedBut you let your blue walls get in the way of these factsHoney, get your carpetbaggers off my backYou wouldnt even give me time to cover my tracksYou said heres your mirror and your ball and jacksBut theyre not what I came for, and Im sure you see that tooI came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgencyI came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one longEmergencyAnd your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges freeCrawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weakReveal yourself all now to me girl while youve got the strength to speak`cause theyre waiting for you at bellevue with their oxygen masksBut I could give it all to you now if only you could askAnd dont call for your surgeon even he says its too lateIts not your lungs this time, its your heart that holds your fateDont give me money, honey, I dont want it backYou and your pony face and your union jackWell take your local joker and teach him how to actI swear I was never that way even when I really crackedDidnt you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotiveAble to leap tall buildings in a single bound?And your chelsea suicide with no apparent motiveYou could laugh and cry in a single soundAnd your strength is devastating in the face of all these oddsRemember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beachRemember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reachAnd the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheekThey ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leachBut that medal you wore on your chest always got in the wayLike a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her wayWe were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roarOf some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shoreSo you, left to find a better reason than the one we were living forAnd its not that nursery mouth I came back forIts not the way youre stretched out on the floor`cause Ive broken all your windows and Ive rammed through all your doorsAnd who am I to ask you to lick my sores? and you should know thats trueI came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgencyI came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one longEmergencyAnd your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
