- Blinded by the LightVer letra
[X]Madman drummers, bummers and Indians in the summerletra de Blinded by the Light
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps, with the mumps as the adolescent pumps
His way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing, sneezing and wheezing
The Calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot, half-shot was headin’ for a hot spot
Snappin’ his fingers, clappin’ his hands
And some fleshpot, mascot was tied into a lovers knot
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott, with a slingshot
Finally found a tender spot
And throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot, forget-me-not
Whispers “Daddy’s within earshot
Save the buckshot, turn up the bandâ€
And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down, but she never got tight
But, she’ll make it, alright
Some brimstone, baritone, anticyclone
Rolling stone preacher from the east
He says: “Dethrone the Dictaphone
Hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it leastâ€
And some new-mown chaperone was standin’ in the corner
All alone watchin’ the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone
To remind him of the feeling of romance
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down, but he never got tight
But, he's gonna make it, tonight
Some silicone sister with her manager’s mister
Told me I got what it takes
She said “I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
If you play that song with the funky breakâ€
And go-cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart
To see if it was safe to go outside
And little early-pearly came by in her curly-wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer
Playin’ backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
They sent some dude with a calling card
It said, “Do what you like, but don't do it hereâ€
Well, I jumped up, turned around
Spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said “Take a right at the lightâ€
“Keep going straight until nightâ€
“And then boy, you're on your ownâ€
And now in Zanzibar, a shootin’ star
Was ridin’ in a side car, hummin’ a lunar tune
Yes, and the Avatar said “Blow the bar
But, first remove the cookie jar
We’re gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
Was complaining that he caught the clap
From some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
And between his ears I saw a gap
But, figured he'd be all right
He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Whoa, but, mama that's where the fun is
Woo, yeah
(I was blinded)
Oh, mama, oh, mama, oh mama
(I was blinded)
Oh, mama, oh, mama
(I was blinded)
I was blinded
(I was blinded)
I was blinded
(I was blinded)
I was blinded
(I was blinded)
I was blinded
(I was blinded)
I was blinded
(I was blinded)
I was blinded - For YouVer letra
[X]Princess cards she sends meletra de For You
With her regards
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle
I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile
I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted
Oh, but you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for
And I'm sure you see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free
Well, crawl into my ambulance
Your pulse is getting weak
Oh; reveal yourself all now to me girl
While you've got the strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue
With their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now
If only you could ask
Well and don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time
It's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me money, honey
I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way
Even when I really cracked
Didn't you think I knew that?
You were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound
Oh, alright, mmm
And your strength is devastating
In the face of all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting
When it was my turn to be the god?
You were not quite half so proud
When I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue
And hung just out of reach
And the band they played the homecoming theme
As I caressed your cheek
Yeah, that ragged, jagged melody
She still clings to me like a leach
But that medal you wore on your chest
Always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy
So soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers
But you had your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine
On an alien, distant shore
So you left to find a better reason
Than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
Cause I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you should know that's true
I came for you, for you, I came for you,
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free, wooo - Spirit in the NightVer letra
[X]Crazy Janey and her mission man were back in the alley tradin' handsletra de Spirit in the Night
'long came Wild Billy with his friend G-man all duded up for Saturday night
Well Billy slammed on his coaster brakes and said anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake
It's about a mile down on the dark side of route eighty-eight
I got a bottle of rose so let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe and I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
They're built like light
and they dance like spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Oh, you don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up now and let them shoot through you
Well now Wild Billy was a crazy cat and he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said, "Trust some of this it'll show you where you're at." or at least it'll help you really feel it
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake I had my head out the window and Janey's fingers were in the cake
I think I really dug her 'cause I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey let me heal it."
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
and she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night (all night)
In the night (all night). Janey don't know what she do to you
Spirit in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through me
Now the night was bright and the stars threw light on Billy and Davy
dancin' in the moonlight
They were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn
Well now Hazy Davy got really hurt, he ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and Crazy Janey was makin' love in the dirt singin' our birthday songs
Janey said it was time to go so we closed our eyes and said goodbye to gypsy angel row, felt so right
Together we moved like spirits in the night, all night
Baby don't know what it do to you
Spirits in the night (all the night) in the night (all night) - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)Ver letra
[X]Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonightletra de 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this Fourth of July
Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers along the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York girls
Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl
Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins are so white
And me I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades bangin' them pleasure machines
Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise to unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And that Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off
Oh Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Runnin' down the beach at night with my boss's daughter
Well he ain't my boss no more Sandy
Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us
I spoke to 'em just last night and they said they won't set themselves on fire for us anymore
Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from heaven on their Harleys they come and they go
And you can see 'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars parked making love with their babies out on the Kokomo
Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do
This boardwalk life for me is through
You know you ought to quit this scene too
Sandy the aurora's rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever - Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)Ver letra
[X]Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her mama's reinsletra de Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
You know playin' blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up Little Dynamite I'm gonna pick up Little Gun
And together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't want to be your son
The only lover I'm ever gonna need's your soft sweet little girl's tongue and Rosie you're the one
Dynamite's in the belfry playin' with the bats
Little Gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's tryin' out his attitude on all the cats
Papa's on the corner waitin' for the bus
Mama she's home in the window waitin' up for us
She'll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs 'cause you know we ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business
I'm only here for fun
Rosalita jump a little lighter
Senorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover ain't no liar
Rosalita you're my stone desire
Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie you know they're gonna be there
Ah Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy they'll be comin' up for air
We're gonna play some pool skip some school act real cool
Stay out all night it's gonna feel all right
Rosie come out tonight Rosie come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers winners use the door
Rosalita jump a little lighter
Senorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover ain't no liar
Rosalita you're my stone desire
Now I know your mama she don't like me 'cause I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand
Papa lowered the boom he locked you in your room
I'm comin' to lend a hand
I'm comin' to liberate you confiscate you I want to be your man
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now you're sad your mama's mad
And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
Tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance
Because a record company Rosie just gave me big bucks
My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy
My machine she's a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night 'cause Rosie I'm comin' on strong
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way
There's a little cafe where they play guitars all night and day
You can hear them in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cause don't you know daddy's comin'
Rosalita jump a little lighter
Senorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover ain't no liar
Rosalita you're my stone desire - Thunder RoadVer letra
[X]The screen door slamsletra de Thunder Road
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
>From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win. - Born to RunVer letra
[X]In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American Dreamletra de Born to Run
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway Nine
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin’ out over the line
Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back
It’s a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we’re young
Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Yes, girl, we are
Wendy, let me in I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs ‘round these velvet rims
And strap your hands ‘cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We’ll run till we drop, baby we’ll never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild, babe, I wanna know if love is real
Oh, can ya show me
Huh, sax
(Sax Solo)
Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
I wanna die with ya, Wendy, on the street tonight
In an everlastin’ kiss, ha
(Guitar Solo)
One, two, three, four
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Well, everybody’s out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday girl, I don't know when we’re gonna get to that place
Where we really wanna go and we’ll walk in the sun
But till then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Come on, Honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Come on Wendy, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Whoa, a-whoa, mmm, mmm, ahh, ahh, aah
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oo, ooo
Mmm, mmm, whoa, ooo, ooo, whoa, oh, oh, oh, ooo, ooo - JunglelandVer letra
[X]The Rangers had a homecomin’ in Harlem late last nightletra de Jungleland
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine, over the Jersey state line
Barefoot Girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance
And disappear down Flamingo Lane
Well, the maximum lawman run down Flamingo
Chasing the Rat and the Barefoot Girl
And the kids ‘round here, look just like shadows
Always quiet, holding hands
From the churches to the jails
Tonight all is silence in the world, as we take our stand
Down in Jungleland
The midnight gangs assembled
And picked a rendezvous for the night
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
That brings this fair city light
Man, there's an opera out on the turnpike
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cop, cherry top, rips this holy night
The street’s alive as debts are paid
Contacts made, they vanished unseen
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades
Hustling for the record machine
The hungry and the hunted
Explode into rock ‘n roll bands
That face off against each other out in the street
Down in Jungleland
(Guitar solo)
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
Inside the backstreet girls
Are dancing to the records that the D. J. plays
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
Desperate as the night moves on
Just a look and a whisper, and they're gone
(Soulful Sax Solo)
Beneath the city two hearts beat
Soul engines runnin’ through a night so tender
In a bedroom locked
In whispers of soft, refusal, and then surrender
In the tunnels uptown
The Rat’s own dream guns him down
As shots echo down them hallways in the night
No one watches, when the ambulance pulls away
Or, as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
Outside, the street’s on fire in a real death waltz
Between what’s flesh and what's fantasy
And then poets down here, don't write nothin’ at all
They just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of the night
They reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand
But they wind up wounded, not even dead
Tonight in Jungleland - BadlandsVer letra
[X]There’re lights out tonight, trouble in the heartlandletra de Badlands
Got a head-on collision, smashin’ in my guts, man
I'm caught in a crossfire, that I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure, girl
I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes
Honey, I don't give a damn, for just the in-betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now
You better listen to me, baby
Talk about a dream; try to make it real
You wake up in the night, with a fear so real
You spend your life waitin’ for a moment, that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you’ve gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you’ve gotta pay
Keep pushin’ until it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Workin’ in the field
Till you get your back burned
Workin’ 'neath the wheels
Till you get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts, learned real good right now
You better get it straight, darling
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain’t satisfied, till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got
Now, I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith, that could save me
I believe in the hope and I pray that someday it
Will raise me above these
Badlands, you’ve gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you’ve gotta pay
Keep pushin’ till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Whoa, whoa, whoa
(Guitar & Sax Solo)
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain’t no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face, that ain’t looking through me
I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands, you’ve gotta live it every day
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you’ve gotta pay
Keep pushin’ until it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good
A-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Badlands, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Badlands, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Badlands, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Badlands, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Badlands, a-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa - Darkness on the Edge of TownVer letra
[X]Well, they're still racing out at the trestlesletra de Darkness on the Edge of Town
But, that blood it never burned in her veins
Now, I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
In a style she's trying to maintain
Well, if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Tell her, there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
There’s a darkness on the edge of town
Well, everybody's got a secret, Sonny
Somethin’ that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till someday, they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long at your face
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
(Guitar Solo)
Now some folks are born into a good life
And other folks get it anyway, anyhow
And I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
I'll be on that hill with everything I got
Well, lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
For wantin’ things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town - The Promised LandVer letra
[X]On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desertletra de The Promised Land
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge
The dogs on Main Street holw 'cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land
I've done my best to live the right way
I get up every morning and go to work each day
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold
Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode
Explode and tear this town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Find somebody itching for something to start
The dogs on Main Street holw 'cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land
There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and broken hearted
The dogs on Main Street holw 'cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land - The RiverVer letra
[X]I come from down in the valleyletra de The River
Where mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields weregreen
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me
Down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride - Hungry HeartVer letra
[X]Yeah, come on, ahletra de Hungry Heart
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowin’
I took a wrong turn and I just kept goin’
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and ya play your part
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love, I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am, down in Kingstown, again
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and ya play your part
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
(Instrumental Break)
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain’t nobody like to be alone
Oh yeah, everybody’s got a hungry heart
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and ya play your part
Everybody’s got a hungry heart
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
Oh, yeah
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
(Lay down your money and ya play your part)
Oh, yeah
(Everybody’s got a hungry heart)
Oh, yeah, yeah, na, na, na, na, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, yeah, mmm, mmm... - NebraskaVer letra
[X]I saw her standin' on her front lawnletra de Nebraska
Just a-twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride, sir
And ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska
With a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
I killed everything in my path
I can't say that I'm sorry
For the things that we done
At least for a little while, sir
Me and her we had us some fun
The jury brought in a guilty verdict
And the judge, he sentenced me to death
Midnight in prision storeroom
With leather straps across my chest
Sheriff, when the man pulls
That switch, sir, and snaps my poor neck back
You make sure my pretty baby
Is sittin' right there on my lap
They declared me unfit to live
Said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world - Atlantic CityVer letra
[X]Well, they blew up the chicken man in philly last nightletra de Atlantic City
Now, they blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now, there's trouble bustin in from outta state
And the D. A. Can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin commissions hangin on by the skin of his teeth
Well now, evrything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe evrything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in atlantic city
Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the central trust
And I bought us two tickets on that coast city bus
Now, baby, evrything dies, honey, that's a fact...
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
Were goin out where the sands turnin to gold
Put on your stockins baby, 'cause the nights getting cold
And maybe evrything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe evrything that dies someday comes back
Now, I been lookin for a job, but it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't
Get caught on the wrong side of that line
Well, I'm tired of comin out on the losin end
So, honey, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna
Do a little favor for him
Well, I guess everything dies, baby, that's a fact...

- Born in the U.S.A.Ver letra
[X]Born down in a dead man's townletra de Born in the U.S.A.
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
Born in the U.S.A
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A. ah!
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says: son if it was up to me
Went down to see my v.a. man
He said: son, don't you understand now
Had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A
I'm long gone daddy in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A
Born in the U.S.A
Born in the U.S.A
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A. now - Glory DaysVer letra
[X]I had a friend was a big baseball playerletra de Glory Days
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Chorus:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a friday i'll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about
Chorus
My old man worked 20 years on the line
And they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
They just tell him that he's too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall
But I can tell what's on his mind
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the glory of, well time slips away
And leaves you with nothing mister but
Boring stories of glory days
Chorus (repeat twice)
Assorted all rights, oh yeahs, come on nows, hoots, etc til fade - Dancing in the DarkVer letra
[X]I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to sayletra de Dancing in the Dark
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
[Chorus:]
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round my place
I check my look in the mirror wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just livin in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is
[Chorus:]
You sit around getting older there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders come on baby the laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction come on baby give me just one look
[Chorus:]
You can't start a fire, sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire, worryin' about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby! - Tunnel of LoveVer letra
[X]Fat man sitting on a little stoolletra de Tunnel of Love
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me two tickets smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love
I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love
There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D
I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love
It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets a woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above if you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love - Brilliant DisguiseVer letra
[X]I hold you in my arms as the band playsletra de Brilliant Disguise
What are those words whispered baby just as you turn away
I saw you last night out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind and know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow
Well I've tried so hard baby but I just can't see
What a woman like you is doing with me
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart when out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust cause I damn sure don't trust
Myself
Now you play the loving woman I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of - Human TouchVer letra
[X]You and me we were the pretendersletra de Human Touch
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don't surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl, aint no kindness in the face of strangers
Aint gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling
I got a deal for you right here
I aint looking for praise or pity
I aint coming round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Aint no mercy on the streets of this town
Aint no bread from heavenly skies
Aint nobody drawing wine from this blood
Its just you and me tonight
Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askins too much
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
Well it comes at a hard hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
Were all riders on this train
So youve been broken and youve been hurt
Show me somebody who aint
Yeah, I know I aint nobodys bargain
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...
You might need something to hold on to
When all the answers, they don't amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby, in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askins too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch - Living ProofVer letra
[X]Well now on a summer night in a dusky roomletra de Living Proof
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
In his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof
I put my heart and soul I put 'em high upon a shelf
Right next to the faith the faith that I'd lost in myself
I went down into the desert city
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
I crawled deep into some kind of darkness
Lookin' to burn out every trace of who I'd been
You do some sad sad things baby
When it's you you're tryin' to lose
You do some sad and hurtful things
I've seen living proof
You shot through my anger and rage
To show me my prison was just an open cage
There were no keys no guards
Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars
Well now all that's sure on the boulevard
Is that life is just a house of cards
As fragile as each and every breath
Of this boy sleepin' in our bed
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves
Just a close band of happy thieves
And when that train comes we'll get on board
And steal what we can from the treasures treasures of the Lord
It's been a long long drought baby
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof
Looking for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof - Lucky TownVer letra
[X]House got too crowded clothes got too tightletra de Lucky Town
And I don't know just where I'm going tonight
Out where the sky's been cleared by a good hard rain
There's somebody callin' my secret name
I'm going down to Lucky Town
Going down to Lucky Town
I wanna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots
But that coat always had a thread hangin' to loose
Well I pulled it one night and to my surprise
It led me right past your house and on over the rise
I'm going down to Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet
I been a long time walking on fortune's cane
Tonight I'm sleepin' lightly and feelin' no pain
Well here's to your good looks baby now here's to my health
Here's to the loaded places that we take ourselves
When it comes to luck you make your own
Tonight I got to dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
Down in Lucky Town - Streets of PhiladelphiaVer letra
[X]I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell what I feltletra de Streets of Philadelphia
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know my own face
Oh, brother, are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On, the streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
My clothes don´t fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin
The night has fallen, I´m lyin´awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia - The Ghost of Tom JoadVer letra
[X]Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracksletra de The Ghost of Tom Joad
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
No home no job no peace no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad - The RisingVer letra
[X]Can't see nothin' in front of meletra de The Rising
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line
Come on up for the rising
Com on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line
Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life ( a dream of life)
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

[X]There is a blood red circleletra de My City of Ruins
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church door's thrown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Now the sweet bells of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
Like scattered leaves,
The boarded up windows,
The empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Now's there's tears on the pillow
Darlin' where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost, my friend
Tell me how do I begin again?
My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins
Now with these hands,
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord
We pray for your love, Lord
We pray for the lost, Lord
We pray for this world, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord
Come on
Come on
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up

[X]Once I thought I knewletra de Lonesome Day
Everything I needed to know about you
Your sweet whisper, Your tender touch
But I didn't really know that much
Joke's on me, It's gonna be okay
If I can just get through this lonesome day
Hell's brewin' dark sun's on the rise
This storm'll blow through by and by
House is on fire, Viper's in the grass
A little revenge and this too shall pass
This too shall pass, I'm gonna pray
Right now all I got's this lonesome day
It's allright? It's allright? It's allright
Better ask questions before you shoot
Deceit and betrayals bitter fruit
It's hard to swallow, come time to pay
That taste on your tongue don't easily slip away
Let kingdom come I'm gonna find my way
Through this lonesome day - American Skin (41 Shots)
