The Angel - Bruce Springsteen
The angel rides with hunch-backed children, poison oozing from his engine
Wieldin' love as a lethal weapon, on his way to hubcap heaven
Baseball cards poked in his spokes his boots in oil he's patiently soaked
The roadside attendant nervously jokes as the angel's tires strokes his precious pavement
Well the interstate's choked With nomadic hordes in Volkswagen vans With full running
dragging great anchors
Followin' dead-end signs in..to the sores the angel rides by humpin' his hunk metal whore
Madison Avenue's claim to fame in a trainer bra with eyes like rain
She rubs against the weather-beaten frame and asks the angel for his name
Off in the distance the marble dome
Reflects across the flatlands with a naked feel off into parts unknown
The woman strokes his polished chrome
And lies beside the angel's bones
