Bruce Springsteen’s Sequel to “The Wrestler”

Update: MP3 version after the jump!

Verse 1
Have you ever seen a one-eyed man, sailin’ cross the seven seas
If you’ve ever seen that one eyed man, then you’ve seen me.
Have you ever seen a one-eyed man, try to save his Germany
If you’ve ever seen that one eyed man, then you’ve seen me.

Chorus 1:
Then you’ve seen me, just chillin’ out with Dumbledore
Then you’ve seen me, Escapin’ from New York
Then you’ve seen me, and you’re gonna taste my Hanzo sword
Just one eye, did I ask for anything more?
Just one eye, did I ask for anything more?

Verse 2
Have you ever heard a one-armed drummer, wailing away like he had three
He was prob’ly playin’ “Pour some sugar on me.”
Have you ever caught the one-armed man who killed your family?
Well, you never caught that one-armed man, you ain’t caught me.

Chorus 2:
And you’ve seen me, defend a bridge in days of yore
And you’ve seen me, (rest) show you what a chainsaw’s for
And you’ve seen me, drag my metal body ‘cross the floor
Just one arm, did I ask for anything more?
Just one arm, did I ask for anything more?

Bridge:
I leave confusing footprints in the sand
And when it comes to angry whales, I ain’t a fan
But at least I got one left, unlike Lieutenant Dan

Verse 3:
Have you ever seen a one handed man screamin’ “that’s impossible”
If you’ve ever seen that one handed man then you’ve seen me.
