Альбом Bruce Springsteen

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For goin' racin' in the street

We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast state
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world, we're going racin' in the street

I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands

Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right

Yeah girl, now won't you come on out tonight
Little girl, now where the stars will shine real bright
Yeah I gotta get that feeling
Yeah I wanna get that feeling
Whoa back again
Yeah back again

Tonight, yeah there's something here in the air
Tonight, I ain't got money but I don't care
I gotta get that feeling
Yeah I wanna get that feeling
And before the night is through
You gonna get that feeling too

Hold me in your arms and baby take everything
Let the light shine, and if we dare to be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da

Tonight, well there's something in the air
And tonight, yeah we ain't got money but I don't care
Yeah we gotta get that feeling
Yeah we gotta get that feeling
Whoa back again
Whoaaa
Say say say say
Do do hum do do do
Do do hum do do do
Do do hum do do do
Do do hum do do do

Whoaaa yeah
Do do hum do do do

It's over now, the thing we had
I ain't sorry, babe, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
Night after night you wrote the lines

My life's the same story
Again and again
I' m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in

Hey, make-believe ain't real
I don't doubt the way I feel
You walk real pretty and you talk real sweet
Well babe I was born in the driving seat

My life's the same story
Again and again
I' m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
Yes i' m on the outside looking in

It's over now, the thing we had
I ain't sorry, babe, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
Night after night you wrote the lines

My life's the same story
Beginning to end
Beginning to end
I' m on the outside looking in
On the outside looking in
Yes i' m on the outside looking in
Yes I am
Yes I guess I am
Baby i' m on the outside looking in

Your voice comes calling through the mist
I awake from a dream and my heart begins to drift
Tonight we're on our own
Tonight we're all alone
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday we'll be together
Together

I can't sleep so I lay awake listenin' to the sounds of the city below
I get dressed and walk the streets but I got nowhere to go
Tonight it's you I'm with
Tonight my only wish is
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine

Tonight we're on our own
Tonight we're all alone
Oh-oh, tonight

Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine
Woah-whoaaa
Someday you'll be mine
Woah-whoaaa (this love will last forever)
Someday you'll be mine
(Someday we'll be together)
(And the night will fall around us)
(This love will last forever)
(Someday you'll be mine)
(Someday we'll be together)
[fades out]

Well if the sun should fall from the sky, tomorrow
If the rain brings a tear to your eye I would share your sorrow
If you must go, then take your leave
Our love was strong, our love was sweet
But we were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street

In the night, I see only the fire in your eyes
The morning light breaks the shadows of your lies
And so the change has come today
And for our wrongs well we must pay
We were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street

[sax solo]

Oh my darling I must, I must confess
This can't be love but I am just a man possessed
So the time has turned to day
We can turn and walk away
'Cause we were walking on the wild side, running down a one way street
Yes we are
Girl, we're walking on the wild side, running down a one way street

[sax solo]

Whoa-hoo

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try an understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now till the mornin' comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

What I got I have earned
What I'm not I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

Because the night...

Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt you now

Ah-One, two, three, four

Girl on the edge flippin' off the lamp
There'll be an end, darling, to your endless night
On the other side of the street
Yeah, light on portrait and the light in your face
And you'll be looking for another pretty place
Baby, this side of the street

Well, keep dreaming baby that your desire brings and girl
I know the sadness that you find in things, it's true
If you can't take the heat, what can I do?

Well, you and your poetry and your cuckoo world
Behind your face hides the face of a modern girl
Yeah, on the other side of the street
Yeah, you've got the look as if you own the world
Therefore, you go out there and they say that you can earn
Baby, on this side of the street

Well, you're tired of everyday bringing the same and so you
Go out looking for some strange new games
Well pretty soon you don't know the score anymore
All right!

[guitar solo]

Oh, I know you danger that your desire brings
And I know the strangeness that you'll find
Waiting and you'll see straighter then for you and for me
Yeah
Well turn on the end and baby turn off the lamps
There'll be an end, darling, to your endless night
On the wrong side of the street

Yeah and everyday, well, it just brings the same
You started looking for some other strange new game
On the wrong side of the street
Well, your desires for your sweet confusion
I'll walk away then, I don't buy your delusions
I'll see, open your eyes and see, girl
All right

Well, darling, oh, won't you come a little closer
I promise pretty darling, I didn't know what I was sayin'
And now I pray that you won't say it's over
Come here, pretty baby, and rest your head on my shoulder
With just one kiss and we started
Now, don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
The brokenhearted

And tell me that you need me
Well, now, baby, the lonely nights keep growing longer
And my love for you just keeps growing stronger
Like a wheel of chance so endlessly turning
My fate lay in your hands, my heart's forever burning
And a sweet fire your kiss started
Now, don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
The brokenhearted

And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you want me, girl

The cruel mistakes I've made
The hard price that I paid
For good times and for laughter
Girl, I should've known
The indifference that I've shown
I'd pay forever after

And darling, now all I'm trying to say is passion
And love, they have a way of slipping into blackness
And cared for a certain way
The deck is cut, the card is turning
The hand is played
And all we ever hope for
Turns to ashes and drifts away
Now all that I love
Slipped into this darkness
Don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted
The brokenhearted

And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell that you've loved me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love
Yeah tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love
Tell me that you want me
And come on, now, daring
Say it right, now, baby
Oh, tell me that ... [fades out]

I had a dream our love would last forever
I had a dream tonight my dream comes true
And if you'll hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, I want a rendezvous

Haven't I told you, girl, how much I like you
I got a feeling that you like me too
well if you hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, I want a rendezvous

You deserve so much more than this, girl
Well I'm riding on the power and livin' on the promise in your last kiss
Because I had a dream our love would last forever
I had a dream tonight my dream comes true
And if you'll hold me tight
We'll be riders, girl, on the night
Ooh, ooh, rendezvous
I want a rendezvous

In Candy's room, there are pictures of her saviour on the wall
But to get to Candy's room, you got to walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number, and they bring Candy toys
But when I come knockin', she smiles pretty, she knows tonight I'm gonna be Candy's boy

Well in the olden days when the Mongolian gangs rode herd out on route nine
We go ridin' in the rain, runnin' south, way down through the pines
Weekends in the sun in that cheap motel down by the Dynamo
We loved each other till their was nothing left, and drove that old car as hard and fast as she would go

Well I got a cold winter wind blowin' behind me and you
But Candy's got a man who takes care of her better than I do
Alright

Well there's machine and fire, waitin' for us on the edge of town*
And there's some boys for hire, and there waitin' to blow me and Candy down
That's all right cause they can't touch us now baby you'll see
Cause you know I
But I know her name, and I will forever be Candy's boy...
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm ever, forever be Candy's boy
Alright

Now there's something coming through the air that softly reminds me
Tonight I'll park out on the hill and wait until they find me
You're slipping through the ether, a voice is coming through
So keep me in your heart tonight and I'll save my love for you

So turn up your radio and darling dial me in close
We're riding on the airwaves and we're travelling coast to coast
Over river and highway your voice comes clear and true
Though we're far apart tonight, I'll save my love for you

Hold me in your arms and our doubts won't break us
If we open up our hearts, love won't forsake us
Just let the music take us and carry us home

There's a prayer coming through the air and it's shot straight through my heart
Tearing open the evening sky and tearing me apart
Now I'll ride that signal down the line till I'm home again with you
So turn up your radio and I'll save my love for you
Turn up your radio and I'll save my love for you

Well you don't like, don't like the way I walk
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Like it defies, how you got stuck with me

And you complain, about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
And you complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry, I'm always out with the boys

Whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I give up little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, and you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you

You complain the way I love you at night
You explain I'm really not your type
If we go out, you say I'm such a bore
If you stay in, say "what are we living for?"

I don't understand, there's nothing I can do
There ain't no way, no way to satisfy you
And in the night, I lean in for a kiss
You close the pitch, swing and a miss

Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, yeah you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you, hey!
Hey!
(Come on boys!)

Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Hey hey little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
No matter what I do, and you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you

I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt, uptown in Bloomindales
And babe I tried, to make the latest scene
Hip and cool, just like Jimmy Iovine

I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love, with all the latest moves
I bought some flowers, and I waited at your door
And you came out, didn't want to see me no more

Whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, and you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Hey! Hey! Hey!
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Whoaaa!
???

I'm driving in my car, I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close, you just say no
You say you don't like it, but girl I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss, Fire

Late at night I'm takin' you home
I say I wanna stay, you say you wanna be alone
You say you don't love me, girl you can't hide your desire
'Cause when we kiss, Fire

You had a hold on me, right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool
Well your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool

Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet their love they didn't deny
Your words say split but your words they lie

Little christine
We're takin' one more run
Secret heart, when the time has begun
Come to part
And hey, you're the one
And now we know
My heart is sold
And though we tried
You took me with your spanish eyes

Hey badlands
Realize
That someone else is yearning
Special sunday night
And baby there's time
Time enough to cry
With all our sad stories
And all the bad that we've done
And all the times
We've rode on for glory
And ...
And you took me with your spanish eyes

Stretch out baby
And call your daddy home
'cause I'm runnin' tonight
Couldn't be all alone
Yes I know how something died
But baby it was just for kicks
It was just for fun
Even with all the bad that we done
They can't say we didn't try
And I fell for your spanish eyes

Saturday night special
Waitin' in the sheets
Oh come on
Talk to me, my sweet
And I'll try to make it complete this timecome close and let me dry your eyes
Let me try to turn the lies
And let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Let me kiss your spanish eyes
Come here, baby

Well I walk the way you want me to
And I've talked the way you want me to
And I've tried to do all I can just to please you

Well I work hard every day for you
And I've brought home all my pay for you
And I've cried my tears through the rain
Oh now and again

And oh whoa, girl, it's a shame
Oh whoa, girl, it's a doggone shame
We work so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa, girl, it's a shame

And I bought your golden diamond rings
And I brought you home your pretty things
And I thought I'd shown all the love I have for you
Yes I did

But as hard as I tried it all falls through
Well maybe I was born for just your fool
Trying to satisfy your every desire
Each need you require

Well oh whoa, girl, it's a shame
Oh whoa, girl, it's a doggone shame
I work so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa, girl, it's a shame

??? now!
Whoa!
Whoaaa, whoa-hoo
Whoa

Oh whoa, girl, it's a shame
Oh girl, it's a doggone shame
We work so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa, girl it's a shame
Oh whoa, girl, it's a shame
Oh whoa, girl, it's a doggone shame
We work so hard, but it's all in vain
Oh whoa, girl it's a shame
[fades out]

Put on your black dress, baby, and put your hair up right
There's a party way down in Factory Town tonight
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let's go tonight

How many men fail, their dreams deny
They walk through these streets with death in their eye
Now the man on the radio says "Elvis Presley died"
Come on, come on, let's go tonight

Well now some came to witness some came to weep
Gone by death's strange glory, he stood in the street
Joined together forever in the promise of an endless sleep
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
Baby, come on, come on, let's go tonight
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da

Well every night I see a light up in your window
But every night you won't answer your door
But although you won't ever let me in
From the street I can see your silhouette sittin' close to him
What must I do
What does it take
To get you to

Talk to me
Until the night is over
Talk to me
Well until the night is over, yeah yeah yeah
I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm just asking girl
Talk to me

Well late at night I hear the music that you're playing soft and low
Yes and late at night I see the two of you swayin', so close
I don't understand darling what was my sin
Why am I down here below while you're up there with him
What did I do
What did I say
What must I pay
To get you to

Talk to me
Until the night is over
Talk to me
Well until the night is over, yeah yeah yeah
I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm just asking girl
Talk to me

Why am I down here below while you're up there with him

Talk to me
Until the night is over
Talk to me
Well until the night is over, yeah yeah yeah
I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm down on my bended knees
I'm just asking darling please won't you
Talk to me

The way she kisses so tenderly
The way she gives her love to me
I've been felt by the graces and angels up above

The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

The way she sighs when I hold her tight
Good times and bad will be alright
Faces on the street they push hard and they shove

Just ??? the little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
I know I love her

The soft summer breeze fills her every sigh
Her eyes are bluer than the summer sky

I've been felt by the graces and angels up above

The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

And when the night closes in
I drift till I can't find a friend
On the wings of the angels I'm safe by her love

The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does

Sonny abandoned his car last night
Had a meeting on the docks with a light blue Monterrey
To breakaway

Sonny was playing all his cards last night
In a hotel room he dealt his life away
To breakaway

How the promises and lies they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay

To breakaway, oh, breakaway
Oh, run, they run
They run, they run, they race
And breakaway

Janey slipped from behind the bar last night
Cashed out and walked onto the streets ready and dressed
To breakaway

Janey slid into a car last night (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
In a parking lot she gave her soul away (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)

And the promises and the lies they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay

To breakaway, oh, breakaway
Oh, run, they run
They run, they run, they race
And breakaway

[sax solo]

Bobby laid 'neath the sheet of stars last night
His back on blacktop still warm from the heat of the day
And breakaway

Bobby went down hard last night (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
Saw a shooting star as the evening lights slipped away (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)

And the promises and the lies they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price you pay

To breakaway, oh, breakaway
Oh, run, they run
They run, they run, they race
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)
And breakaway (sha la la la) (sha la la la)

[fades out]

Johnny works in a factory and Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock and roll band
Lookin' for that million-dollar sound
I got a little job down in Darlington
But some nights I don't go
Some nights I go to the drive-in, or some nights I stay home
I followed that dream just like those guys do up on the screen
And I drive a Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends and all the bad
scenes
And when the promise was broken, I cashed in a few of my dream

Well now I built that Challenger by myself
But I needed money and so I sold it
I lived a secret I should'a kept to myself
But I got drunk one night and I told it
All my life I fought this fight
The fight that no man can never win
Every day it just gets harder to live
This dream I'm believing in
Thunder Road, oh baby you were so right
Thunder Road there's something dyin' on the highway tonight

I won big once and I hit the coast
But somehow I paid the big cost
Inside I felt like I was carryin' the broken spirits
Of all the other ones who lost
When the promise is broken you go on living
But it steals something from down in your soul
Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference
Something in your heart goes cold
I followed that dream through the southwestern flats
That dead ends in two-bit bars
And when the promise was broken I was far away from home
Sleepin' in the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder Road, for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
Thunder Road, for the tires rushing by in the rain
Thunder Road, Billy and me we'd always say

(a.k.a. Taxi Cab)

Taxicab, taxicab at the light
Won't you take me on a ride through this city at night
I got some money and I'm feelin' fine
I ain't in no hurry so just take your time

Some people wanna die young and gloriously*
Well taxicab driver, hey that ain't me
I got a cute little baby down at 12th and Vine
And she opens for business just about closin' time

Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City at night, city at night

I don't believe what I see in this street
I don't know how they can take the heat
Well baby I'm a liar, I'm a cheater and I don't care
I got my money, I can't take my fare

I'm ridin' tonight, I'm on my way
C'mon baby ???
I can take it or live it, when it comes
Got my baby by the light of the sun
You know she brings it with her and then she comes

Hey, hey, city at night
Hey, hey, city at night
Ride on
