Bruce Springsteen - Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street? Lyrics






Hey bus driver, keep the change
Bless your children, give them names
Don't trust men who walk with canes
Drink this and you'll grow wings on your feet
Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine
Advertiser on a downtown train
Christmas crier bustin' cane
He's in love again

Where dock worker's dreams mix with panther's schemes
To someday own the rodeo
Tainted women in VistaVision
Perform for out-of-state kids at the late show

Wizard imps and sweat sock pimps
Interstellar mongrel nymphs
Rex said that lady left him limp
Love's like that (sure it is)
Queen of diamonds, ace of spades
Newly discovered lovers of the Everglades
They take out a full-page ad in the trades
To announce their arrival
And Mary Lou, she found out how to cope
She rides to heaven on a gyroscope
The Daily News asks her for the dope
She said, "Man, the dope's that there's still hope"

Senorita, Spanish rose
Wipes her eyes and blows her nose
Uptown in Harlem she throws a rose
To some lucky young matador

  1. M.... ....

    Best Bruce ever. Nothing else, to my ears, compares to this first, amazing LP.

  2. A.... J....

    This is one of my favourite albums. The finest by Bruce if not the River? I love that sound though I was only 8.

  3. p.... ....

    This is one of the few Bruce songs where I've like the original studio version better than the live version. This is just wonderful.

  4. L.... ....

    excellent!

    Hey bus driver keep the change, bless your children, give them names,
    Don’t trust men who walk with canes,
    drink this and you’ll grow wings on your feet
    Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine, advertiser on a downtown train
    Christmas crier bustin’ cane, He’s in love again.
    Where dock worker’s dreams mix with panther’s schemes to someday own the rodeo
    Tainted women in Vistavision perform for out-of-state kids at the late show.

    Wizard imps and sweat sock pimps, interstellar mongrel nymphs
    Rex said that lady left him limp. Love’s like that (sure it is).
    Queen of diamonds, ace of spades newly discovered lovers of the everglades
    They take out a full page ad in the trades to announce their arrival
    And Mary Lou she found out how to cope, she rides to heaven on a gyroscope
    The Daily News asks her for the dope
    She says “Man, the dope’s that there’s still hope”

    Senorita, Spanish rose, wipes her eyes and blows her nose
    Uptown in Harlem she throw a rose to some lucky, young matador...
