Zero And Blind Terry - Bruce Springsteen

The Skulls met the Pythons down at the First Street station

Alliances have been made in alleyways all across the nation

These boys live off the milk of a silver jet and the love of sweet young women

Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown and they’re looking to do some

living

Well the leader of the Pythons is a kid they just call Zero

Now Terry’s pop says these kids are some kind of monsters

But Terry says, «No, pop, they’re just plain heroes»

Zero and Terry they found the love that burns like wildfire

Now Terry’s daddy understood that this Zero was no good, a child,

a thief and a liar

Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn Zero rode like twilight

He sayd, «Tonight's the night, blind Terry, come on,"Terry come on,

tonight is the night

Pack your bags baby

And together they ran like reindeers through the street

Well like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch up on fire

Now Terry’s dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home

They crawled up in the night like firelight

Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime rode silver foxes through

Terry’s field

Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9 but they refused to yield

Yeah now the Pythons fought with buzz guns and the troopers with swords like

light

And Zero and Terry they ran away as the gang fought all through the night

Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away, others said they were caught

and brought back

But still them young pilgrims to this day go to that spot way down by the

railroad track

Where the troopers met the pythons, old timers cry on a hot August night

If you look hard enough, if you try, you’ll catch Zero and Terry and all the

Pythons

Oh just hiking the streets up in the sky

Oh just walking, just hiking the streets up in the sky

Just hiking the streets up in the sky

???

the streets in the sky

Just hiking the streets in the sky

Oh just hiking the streets

Hey Zero
