For You (Live at the Schottenstein Center, Columbus, OH - 7/31/05)

作词 : Bruce Springsteen

作曲 : Bruce Springsteen

Princess cards she sends me with her regards

Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see you, you gotta look hard

I was wounded deep in battle; I stood stuffed like some soldier undaunted

To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on fire, she's all I ever wanted

But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts

Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back

You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks

You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"

They ain't what I came for, and I'm sure you see that, too

I came for you, for you, baby, I came for you

But you did not need my urgency

For you, for you, darling, I came for you

But your life was one long emergency

Cloud line urges me

My electric surges free

Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak

Reveal yourself, now to me, girl

While you've got the strength to speak

'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue and with their oxygen masks

But I could give it all to you here, if only you Would ask

Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late

It's ain't your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate

Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back

You and your pony face and your Union Jack

Well, you can take that local joker and teach him how to act

I swear I was never that way, even when I really cracked

But didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?

Your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive

You could laugh and cry in a single sound

And your strength is devastating

In the face of all these odds

Remember how I kept you waiting

When it was my turn to be the God?

You were not quite half so proud

When I found you broken on the beach

Remember how I poured salt on your tongue

And I hung just out of reach

And the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek

That ragged, jagged melody, still clings to me like a leech

But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way

You are like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way

We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar

Some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore

So, you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for

And it ain't that nursery mouth that I came back for

Ant it ain't the way that you're stretched out on the floor

'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors

And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?

And you should know that's true

I came for you, for you,baby, I came for you

But you did not need my urgency

For you, for you, darling, I came for you

But your life was one long emergency

And your cloud line urges me

And my electric surges free

I came for you, for you, baby, I came for you

For you, for you, darling, I came for you

For you, for you, baby, I came for you

For you, for you, darling, I came for you
