Iceman

Sleepy town ain't got the guts to budge
Baby, this emptiness has already been judged
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got

You're a strange part of me, you're a preacher's girl
And I don't want no piece of this mechanical world
Got my arms open wide and my blood is running hot

We'll take the midnight road right to the devil's door
And even the white angels of Eden with their flamin' swords
Won't be able to stop us from hitting town in this dirty old Ford

Well it don't take no nerve when you got nothing to guard
I got tombstones in my eyes and I'm running real hard
My baby was a lover and the world just blew her away

Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right outta my head
But baby they didn't know that I was born dead
I am the iceman, fighting for the right to live
I say better than the glory roads of heaven better off riding
Hellbound in the dirt, better than the bright lines of the freeway
Better than shadows of your daddy's church
Better than the waiting, baby better off is the search

A criatividade do Boss é amplamente divulgada nesta edição única, quer pela qualidade das músicas, quer pela quantidade.
As que foram ficando para trás, desde o início da carreira em 1973 até à altura deste lançamento, vêm agora finalmente a sua edição oficial. A maioria só era conhecida através de bootlegs, muitos deles de qualidade duvidosa.
Essencial para um verdadeiro fã de Bruce Springsteen e da sua E Street Band.
