Bruce Springsteen – Dancing in The Dark lyrics
I get up in the evening
And I ain’t got nothing to say
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 keeps getting clearer
Radio’s on and I’m moving ’round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere just living
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 laugh’s on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they’ll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta 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 now baby gimme just one look

You can’t start a fire sitting ’round crying
Over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire worrying 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…

Bruce Springsteen – Brilliant Disguise lyrics

I hold you in my arms
As the band plays
What are those words whispered, baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I want to read your mind to 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 who 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
Oh, 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
Oh, we stood at the altar
The gypsy swore our future was bright
But come the wee wee hours
Well 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

Bruce Springsteen – Born In The U.S.A. lyrics

Born down in a dead man’s town
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 USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Send me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA

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’

I 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 the 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 USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
I’m a long gone Daddy in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the USA

Bruce Springsteen – Glory days lyrics

I had a friend was a big baseball player
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

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

Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days

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

Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days

Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band – Trapped lyrics

Well it seems like i’m caught up in your trap again
And it seems like i’ll be wearin’ the same ol’ chains
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set you free
Then i know someday i’ll find the key
Then i know somewhere i’ll find the key

Well it seem like i’ve been playin’ the game way too long
And it seems the game i played has made you strong
Well when the game is over, i won’t walk out a loser
And i know that i’ll walk out of here again
And i know that someday i’ll walk out of here again

But now i’m trapped…oh yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah!

Now it seems like i’ve been sleepin’ in your bed too long
And it seems like you’ve been meanin’ to do me harm
But i’ll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me
And someday i’ll walk out of here again
Yeah i know someday i’ll walk out of here again

Because i’m trapped…oh yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah!

I’m trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah
Trapped…oh yeahhhhhh
Trapped….oh yeahhhh
I’m trapped.

Bruce Springsteen – Tunnel Of Love lyrics

Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket 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 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

Bruce Springsteen – I’m On Fire lyrics

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire

Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my skull

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head

Only you… can cool my desire
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire
Oh, oh, oh I’m on fire
