Iceman

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

We'll take the midnight road right to the devil's door

And even the white angels of Eden with their flaming swords

Won't be able to stop us from hitting town in this dirty old Ford

[Verse 2]

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 out of my head

But baby, they didn't know that I was born dead

I am the iceman, fightin' for the right to live

[Chorus]

I say better than the glory roads of heaven

Better off ridin' hellbound in the dirt

Better than the bright lines of the freeway

Better than the shadows of your daddy's church

Better than the waiting

Baby, better off is the search
