Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street? (Demo) Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Tracks

1998

[Verse 1]
Hey, bus driver, keep the change
Bless your children, give them names
Don't trust men who walk with canes
Drink this and in a week you'll have wings on your feet
Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine
Advertiser on the downtown train
Christmas crier bustin' cane
He's in love again

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, wizard imps and sweat sock pimps
Mixed with interstellar mongrel nymphs
Rеx said his lady left him limp
Well, you know love's likе that
Well, Mary Lou found out how to cope
She rides to heaven on a gyroscope
The Daily News asks her for the dope
And she says, "Man, the dope's that there's still hope"

[Verse 3]
Well now, queen of diamonds, ace of spades
Newly discovered lovers of the Everglades
Take out a full-page ad in the trades
To announce their arrival
Oh, and Señorita, Spanish rose
Wipes her eyes and blows her nose
Uptown in Harlem she throws a rose
To some lucky young matador
