Bruce Springsteen - Henry Boy Lyrics
They broke your toys this morning, henryRode your board right into dustSurrounded you with strangers who you could not trustAnd then they had the gallTo write your name up on the girls room wallAnd send you out to mariaWho spoke of babies and allAnd wanted to shoot your joyIts a hard world when youre the new kid in townAint it, henry boyWell the north side is for diamond-studded womanSubtly selling their waresAnd the west side is for debutantesAnd would be millionairesOh the east side is for lost boysWho know their moves too wellThe south side is for gamblers, henry boyThe train stops once for hellIts a hard world when theyre forcing youTo live your life out on broadwayBut henry Im sure youre gonna like it wellThe constellation she points to gate elevenThats where you got your connectionsLet me take a look inside my magic bookI dont think youre beyond my inventionsOh these doctors appendages Im giving you for wingsIm sure itll meet the occasionIm gonna mix you some magic, youll spittin sparksAnd ready for the invasionOh and the milky ways a trip for dippersThey saw ya coming a mile awayIn the amusement park youll get clipped by rippersHiding behind candy cadesIn the alleyway youll get ripped by strippersAll who know your nameIn the stalls sit the soldier-boy kisserson leave for just a dayAnd henry couldnt take itHes gonna be a submarinerRiding underground for the popeGonna stand on the corner of broadwayAnd scream: up scope
