Live 18 Mar 1999 version
Ah, Professor, please!
One, two, three, four!
That's good!
Teardrops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Everybody better move over, that's all
I'm running on the bad side
With my back to the wall, now
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it, say it again
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
I was stranded in the jungle
Taking all the heat they were giving
Yeah, now, the night is dark and the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
I slipped into a (Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it, say it again
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Well, I'm on my own, I'm on my own
[Clarence Clemons:] Now, kid, you'd better get the picture!
I'm all alone, I'm all alone
And I can't go on home
[Spoken:] Come on, boys! Ah, bring that thing down, now. That's right! That's correct. Ah, hold that thing. Ah, we've got Dan Federici on the organ! Nils Lofgren on the guitar! Garry Tallent on the bass! Roy Bittan on the piano! Miss Patti Scialfa on the guitar and the vocals! Badabing, Steve Van Zandt on the guitar! You've seen him on TV, now you're seeing him back in Asbury Park! Mighty Max Weinberg on the drums! Let me see now. Did I forget anybody? No... The band's getting bigger, it's hard to remember everybody, let me like.. Steve, Max, uh... Garry... Uh, Steve Max, Garry... Um, Steve, Max, Garry, uh, Billy, no, uh... Oh!
They made that change uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hand
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
Hey, go!
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it, say it again
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it one more time
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it one more time
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it one more time
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Say it one more time
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Come on, man!
Say it one more time
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Tenth Avenue freeze-out)
I said, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it
Play it, Steve!
Come on, Nils!
Whoa, ooh, ooh!
Oh yeah, it's all right
Is it all right this evening?
Is it all right?
Is it all right?
Is it all right?
Is it all right?
[Spoken outro:] The E Street Band! The E Street Band! The E Street Band!
The above lyrics are for the live 18 Mar 1999 performance of TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ, during a public warm-up rehearsal show for The Reunion Tour. The song was played in a full-band arrangement featuring band introductions, much shorter than the performances will become over the course of the tour.
Thanks Jake (ol'catfishinthelake at BTX and Greasy Lake) for the lyrics help.
