Ah, I see! A lisp list, not a list on the screen.

I think something like this would generate a such a list:
(org-map-entries '(cons (nth 4 (org-heading-components))
(list (org-get-deadline-time nil)))
"/!TODO" 'agenda)
Each item in the list would look something like this:
("Test" (23000 24400))
You could then feed the list to whatever function you'd like.
