Coriolis Freeze-Out (Bruce Springsteen : Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out : Live in New York Version)
You got to let 'em hear you in Leesti, man! Is there anybody really alive?
One, two, three!
One, two!
Teardrops on the console
Big Michael searching for his groove
The whole station walking pretty
You can't find the room to move
Everybody better move over, that's all
Running on the bad side
With my back to the wall, now
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Say it, Jonty!
(Coriolis freeze-out)
I was stranded in the witch-space
Taking all the heat they were giving
Cry now, the night is dark and the station's bright
And lined with the light of the living
From the Fer-de-Lance window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
They hit me with a,
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Say it again
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Come on!
Well, I'm all alone, I'm all alone
Now, kid, you'd better get the picture!
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
Oh, and I can't find my way back home, now
Say!
Braben is alive!
It's all right (it's all right)
It's all right, now (it's all right, now)
It's all right (it's all right)
Yeah, it's all right, now (it's all right, now)
It's all right to have a good time
(It's all right to have a good time)
Yeah, it's all right to have a good time (it's all right to have a good time)
Oh, take me to the planet
Wash me in the water
Take me to the planet
Wash me in the water
Take me to the planet
Wash me in the water
Take me to the planet
Wash me in the water
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, take me to the planet tonight
I said, I want you to, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, take me to (the planet tonight)
I said, I've got to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Take me to the planet tonight
[Spoken:]
That's right. That's where I want to go tonight.
I want to go to that planet's land!
I want to find that planet of life!
I want to find that planet of love!
I want to find that planet of faith!
And that planet of hope!
Tonight I want to go to that planet of transformation
where you can go and you can be changed,
but you got to work at it.
That's right.
I want to go to that planet of sanctification
where all life's graces and blessings can fall down upon you like rain,
but you've got to work at it.
I want to go, I want to go to that planet of resurrection where everybody gets a second chance,
but you've got to work at it.
Tonight I want to go to that planet of damage healing and companionship.
I want to find that planet of joy and that planet of happiness.
I'm not bull****ting back here!
But you just don't stumble onto those things,
you don't find those places by accident.
You've got to seek them out and search after them.
And that's why we're here night after night after night after night
because you can't get to those things by yourself.
You got to have help.
But that's where I want to go tonight and I want you to go with me.
Because I need to go with you.
That's why I'm here.
And tonight I want to throw a shoot and roll exorcism!
A shoot and roll baptism!
And a shoot and roll bar mitzvah!
That's right, we're gonna do it all tonight,
everything, right here.
I want them lasers to fall down on me and set me free,
set you free.
But I stood one evening as a young man before an asteroid belt,
and I was frightened to pass through those rocks
even though I knew that on the other side the Station of life was waiting.
And there was cold beer at a reasonable price,
and there were no f***ing cellphones either.
Pizza for everybody.
But I stood paralyzed by my own fears.
And then a kindly woman called me onward,
and she said, "Son, come here, let me help you. What you need... What's your line?"
And I told her what, what I did for a living,
and then she said, "Well then, what you need is,
you need a gang. You need some help."
And that's why I'm so glad to introduce here tonight in the Cobra,
the secretary of intelligence, the dean of the University of Spatial Perversity,
Professor Josh Atack on the Graphics Tablet!
And now I want to introduce the minister of faith and friendship,
keeper of all that is righteous on Elite D,
and star of the Lave Radio show,
Little John Stabler in the editing suite!
I want to introduce the foundation of the Elite D nation,
the Manchester Terror, Mister Jonty 'Up' Campbell!
And on the keyboard, the man that brings the news night after night after night after night,
the minister of the newsletter and star of the forums,
the mighty, mighty Ashley Barley!
In Fiction, the godfather of Fiction,
the minister of heart and spirit,
the great, great, Michael Brookes!
And on the keyboard, our procedural generation God,
hailing from somewhere outside Cambridgeshire,
the minister of mystery, brother Igor Terentjev!
[Sung:]Well, now, and now, and now, brunettes are fine, and blondes are fun
But when it comes to getting a dirty job done
It takes a (flame headed woman)
Yeah, I said, I'm looking for a (flame headed woman)
We're searching for our baby (flame headed woman)
We're begging, lady, please (flame headed woman)
We're down upon our knees (flame headed woman)
In supplication (flame headed woman)
In admiration (flame headed woman)
In the Elite education (flame headed woman)
Come on!
[Geraldine:] Fellas, take a walk in toy land
[Geraldine:] Be my heroes play the part
[Geraldine:] I'm falling down hard from salvation
[Geraldine:] Come protect this china heart
[Geraldine:] Though my party dress is torn
[Geraldine:] I still walk and talk and cry and crawl
[Geraldine:] I've got no one on my arm
[Geraldine:] I am just a rumble doll
Whoa!
[Spoken:]The first lady of Elite in the Fer-de-Lance,
Miss Geraldine!
Now, last but not least!
That's right, last but not least!
I'm talking about the minister of soul,
secretary of the brotherhood,
the next Emperor of the Galaxy.
Do I have to say his name? (No)
Do I have to say his name? (No)

[Sung:]When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the dustlanes to the Gal'xy
The little pretties raise their hand
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Michael and the Big Man bust this station in half, hey!
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Say it again!
(Coriolis freeze-out)
One more time!
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Say it again!
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Everybody form a line
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Everybody form a line, now
(Coriolis freeze-out)
Come on, help me out, C!
(Coriolis freeze-out)
I said, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah), hey, (yeah), hey, (yeah), hey, (yeah), hey, (yeah), say, (yeah), say, (yeah)
Whoa!
Oh yeah, it's all right, now
And it's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, (it's all right)
It's all right, (it's all right)
Say it's alright, now, (it's all right)
Say it's all, say it's all right
[Spoken:] The Elite D Band! The Elite D Band! The heart-stopping, earth-shocking, earth-quaking, heartbreaking, air-conditioner-shaking, history-making, legendary Elite D Band!
Right to you!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, save me somebody!
