Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take my hand, come under cover
They cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to us
Have a doubt, baby, when Im alone
Love is a ring; a telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our beds til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel, under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They cant touch you now, cant touch you now, cant touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to us |

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Sometimes its 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 soakin wet
And a freight train runnin through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire... |
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
I could walk like Brando right into the sun
Then dance just like a Casanova
With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat
When I strut down the street I could feel its heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said Dont that man look pretty
The cripple on the corner cried out Nickels for your pity
Them downtown boys sure talk gritty
Its so hard to be a saint in the city
I was the king of the alley I could talk some trash
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the beggars bash
I was the pimps main prophet I kept everything cool
A backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground
The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street
Showin me a hand I knew even the cops couldnt beat
I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
Its so hard to be a saint when youre just a boy
And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead
They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread
But its too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat
You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat
Your heart starts beatin faster as you struggle to your feet
Then youre outa that hole and back up on the street
And them South Side sisters sure look pretty
The cripple on the corner cries out Nickels for your pity
And them downtown boys sure talk gritty
Its so hard to be a saint in the city |
Theyre still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear shes got a house up in Fairview
And a style shes trying to maintain
Well if she wants to see me
You can tell her that Im easily found
Tell her theres a spot out `neath Abrams Bridge
And tell her theres a darkness on the edge of town
Everybodys got a secret Sonny
Something that they just cant face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town
Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things dont seem to matter much to me now
Tonight Ill be on that hill `cause I cant stop
Ill be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
Ill be there on time and Ill pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town |
She promises to be yours forever and always
And youre too young to know it dont work out that way
When she kisses you and your heart skips
And youre ten feet off the ground
Soon youll be crying and thats when youll have found
That your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Well, its kisses and sweet talk
When she first starts coming round
But soon, the tears start falling down
You say every day she makes your dreams come true
But soon, those very dreams will be the death of you
Well, your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Ah-ah-ah, alright
No cold denials, no one really lied
It was time spent, promises implied
And suddenly, you see something new in her eyes
And in that moment, you begin to realize
Lately, youve been walking the streets at night
Like an empty shadow in the morning light
Like an empty shadow thats suddenly found
And your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Oh, your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down, alright
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down, ha
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down, oh
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down |
The times are tough now, just getting tougher
This old world is rough, its just getting rougher
Cover me
Come baby, cover me
Well Im looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Promise me, baby, you wont let them find us
Hold me in your arms, lets let our love blind us
Cover me
Shut the door and cover me
Well Im looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Outsides the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I aint going out there no more
This whole world is out there just trying to score
Ive seen enough, I dont want to see any more
Cover me
Come on and cover me
Well Im looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Well Im looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Cover me
Wrap your arms around me and cover me
Well Im looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late last month
Ralph went out looking for a job but, Lord, he couldnt find none
He came home too drunk from mixing Tanqueray and wine
He got a gun and shot a night clerk, now they call him Johnny 99
Down in the part of town when you hit a red light and dont stop
Johnnys waving his gun and threatening to blow his top
When an off-duty cop snuck up on him from behind
Out in front of the club Tip Top, they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99
The city supplied a public defender, but the judge was mean John Brown
When he came into the courtroom and he stared young Johnny down
Well, the evidence is clear, gonna let the sentence fit the crime
Prison for 98 and a year, well call it even, Johnny 99
Well, a fist fight broke out in the courtroom, they had to drag Johnnys girl away
His mama stood up and shouted, Judge, dont take my boy this way
Well, son, you got a statement that youd like to make
Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away?
Now judge, oh judge, I got debts no honest man can pay
The bank was holding my mortgage, they was taking my house away
Now, I aint saying that make me no innocent man
God knows it was more than all this that put that gun in my hand
Well, Your Honor, I do believe Id be better off dead
And if you can take a mans life for the thoughts running through his head
Then wont you sit back in that chair and think it over, judge, one more time
And let them shave off my hair and put me on the execution line |
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Uomini a piedi lungo la ferrovia
Senza una meta se ne vanno via
Mentre spunta dai monti un elicottero
Sotto il ponte c’è un fuoco che riscalda un po’
Camminano in fila verso il ricovero
Il mondo in fondo è così misero
Intere famiglie in una macchina
L’idea di una casa è solo utopica
La strada stanotte sembra libera
Ma nessuno sa dove ci porterà
Resto seduto al fuoco dei falò
E cerco il fantasma di Tom Joad
Il predicatore vuole accendere
Mentre fuma in silenzio inizia a leggere
I primi cadranno in pochi attimi
Saranno premiati solo gli ultimi
Ma la Terra Promessa si fa attendere
Tra illusioni e ferite profondissime
E intanto si dorme in grosse scatole
Per cuscini soltanto pietre gelide
La strada stanotte sembra libera
Ma nessuno sa dove ci porterà
Resto seduto al fuoco dei falò
E aspetto il fantasma di Tom Joad
Ovunque qualcuno trovi crudeltà
Ovunque un bambino cerchi umanità
Ovunque c’è odio, c’è meschinità
Cercami bene perché sarò là
Ovunque si lotti per la libertà
Un lavoro decente, un po’ di dignità
Ovunque qualcuno pianga i suoi perché
Guarda i suoi occhi, mamma, e vedrai me
La strada stanotte sembra libera
Ma nessuno sa dove ci porterà
Resto seduto al fuoco dei falò
E cerco il fantasma di Tom Joad |
House got too crowded, clothes got too tight
And I dont know where Im going tonight
Out where the skys been cleared by a good hard rain
Theres somebody calling my secret name
Im going down to Lucky Town
Going down to Lucky Town
I wanna lose these blues Ive found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town
Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots
But that coat always had a thread hanging loose
Well, I pulled it one night and to my surprise
It led me straight past your house on over the rise
Im going down to Lucky Town
Going down to Lucky Town
I wanna lose these blues Ive found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town
Well, I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
Now the jokes coming up through the soles of my feet
I been a long time walking on fortunes cane
Well, tonight, Im stepping lightly and Im feeling no pain
Heres to your good looks, baby, and heres to my health
Heres to the loaded places that we take ourselves
When it comes to luck, you make your own
Tonight, I got dirt on my hands but Im building me a home
Meet me down in Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
Im gonna lose these blues Ive found
Down in Lucky Town
Baby, down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town |
Where does the time go, baby?
Seems like when I got here, you were still a child
Listen to me, baby
I would let the tears fall but thats not my style
Next time I see you, well be older
And well be changed in ways we might not even see
And we may grow apart instead of closer
Thats why tonight means everything to me
This may be the last time
Lets make it the best time
May be the last time
Lets make it the best time
Look at me, baby
I wish I could answer all the questions in your eyes
What matters, baby
Is that we look around and be proud of how we spent our lives
Listen, baby, I didnt get here by complaining
And Ill be leaving the same way that I came
In you, I saw myself and for that, Im grateful
Im gonna make sure you remember my name
This may be the last time
Lets make it the best time
May be the last time
Lets make it the best time
Next time I see you, well be older
And well be changed in ways we might not even see
And we may grow apart instead of closer
I just want to thank you for being here for me
This may be the last time
Lets make it the best time
This may be the last time
Lets make it the best time
This may be the last time, baby
Lets make it the best time
May be the last time
Lets make it the best time |
Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland
A head-on collision bustin in my guts, man
Im caught in a crossfire that I dont understand
But theres one thing I know for sure, girl
I dont give a damn for the same old played out scenes
And I dont give a damn for just the in-betweens
Well, baby, I want the heart, the soul
I want control right now
Better listen to me, baby
Talkin about a dream, tryin to make it real
You wake up in the night with a fear so real
You spend your life waiting for a moment that just dont come
Well, dont spend your time a-waiting
Badlands, live it everyday
The broken heared stand for the price youve gotta pay
Keep pushin til its understood
These badlands start treating us good
Working in the fields, you get your back burned
Working neath the wheels, you get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts learned real good right now
?????
Poor man wanna be rich, and a rich man wanna be king
A king aint satisfied til he rules out everything
Gonna go out tonight, gonna find out what I got
I believe in the love that you gave me
Believe in the faith thatll save me
Believe and I hope and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
Badlands, live it everyday
The broken hearted stand for the price you gotta pay
Keep pushin til its understood
These badlands start treating us good
The ones who had a notion deep inside
It aint no sin to be glad youre alive
Gonn find one face that aint looking through me
Gonn find one face, gonna spit in the face of these
Badlands, live it everyday
The broken hearted stand for the price youve gotta pay
Keep pushin til its understood
These badlands start treating us good
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands |
Well far between sundowns finish and midnights broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway thunder crashin
As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun
Sayin it may be the chimes of freedom flashin
Flashin for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashin for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin
Well in the citys melted furnace unexpectedly we watched
With faces hiddеn here while thе walls were tightenin
As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain
Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin
Yeah tollin for the rebel yeah tollin for the raked
Tollin for the luckless the abandoned and forsaked
Yeah tollin for the outcasts burnin constantly at stakes
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin
And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed
Theres a hypnotic splattered mist was slowly liftin
Well electric light still struck like arrows
Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin
Well tollin for the searching ones on this speechless secret trail
For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale
And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail
Yeah we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin
Well starry eyed and laughin I recall when we were caught
Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended
As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed Has the tollin ended?
Yeah tollin for the achin ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused accused misused strung out ones at worst
And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin |
On the road to Basra stood young Lieutenant Jimmy Bly
Detailed to go through the clothes of the soldiers who died
Well, at night he dreams he sees their souls rise
Like dark geese into the Oklahoma sky
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Those whove gone, left their babies brokenhearted
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Raphael Rodriguez was just seven years old
Shot down in a schoolyard by some East Compton Cholo
His mamma cries, My beautiful boy is dead
In the hills the self-made men just sigh and shake their heads
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Those whove gone, left their babies brokenhearted
Young lives over before they got started
This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
Well, tonight as I tuck my own son in bed
All I can think of is what if it wouldve been him instead
Want to build a wall so high nothing can burn it down
Right here on my own piece of dirty ground
Well, I ply my trade in the land of king dollar
Where you get paid and your silence passes as honor
Where all the hatred and dirty little lies
Well, theyre written off the books and into decent mens eyes |
The screen door slams
Marys dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey thats me and I want you only
Dont turn me home again
I just cant face myself alone again
Dont run back inside
Darling you know just what Im here for
So youre scared and youre thinking
That maybe we aint that young anymore
Show a little faith theres magic in the night
You aint a beauty but hey youre alright
Oh and thats 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 saviour to rise from these streets
Well I aint no hero
Thats 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 nights 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
Heavens waiting down on the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
Were 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 its 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 cars out back
If youre ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The doors open but the ride it aint free
And I know youre lonely
For words that I aint spoken
But tonight well be free
All the promisesll 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 theyre gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
Its a town full of losers
And Im pulling out of here to win |
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
Id sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
Hed tousle my hair and say Son, take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
In 65 tension was running high
At my high school
There was lots of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed, then a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
Now Main Streets whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no more
Theyre closing down the textile mills cross the railroad tracks
Foreman says These jobs are going, boys, and they aint coming back
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown
Last night me and Kate, we laid in bed talking bout getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
Im thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel, said Son take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown |
Well, its Saturday night
Youre all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe you been watching me, too
So somebody ran out
Left someones heart in a mess
Well, if youre looking for love
Honey, Im tougher than the rest
The road is dark
Its a thin, thin line
But I want you to know Ill walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
Couldnt pass the test
Well, if youre rough and ready for love
Honey, Im tougher than the rest
Well, it aint no secret
Ive been around a time or two
Wеll, I dont know baby maybe youve been around too
Well, thеres another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
If youre rough and ready for love
Honey, Im tougher than the rest
If youre rough enough for love
Baby, Im tougher than the rest |
Well I sought gold and diamond rings
My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
Walked from the mountain to the valley floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
From a house on a hill a sacred light shines
I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine
Down empty hallways I went from door to door
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
Well your hair shone in the sun
I was so high I was the lucky one
Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
Im flyin high over gray fields my feathers long and black
Down along the rivers silent edge I soar
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward |
I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going in this world
I got laid off at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the car wash
Where all it ever does is rain
Dont it feel like youre a rider
On a downbound train?
She just said, Joe, I gotta go
We had it once, we aint got it no more
She packed her bags, and she left me behind
She got a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear the whistle whining
I feel her kisses in the misty rain
And I feel like Im a rider
On a downbound train
Last night, I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
I put on my jacket, ran through the woods
Ran til I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty, then I heard the long whistle whine
Then I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried
Now I swing a sledgehammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Dont it feel like youre a rider
On a downbound train? |
House got too crowded clothes got too tight
And I dont know just where Im going tonight
Out where the skys been cleared by a good hard rain
Theres somebody callin my secret name
Im going down to Lucky Town
Going down to Lucky Town
I wanna lose these blues Ive 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
Im going down to Lucky Town
Down to Lucky Town
Im gonna lose these blues Ive found
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
Now the jokes comin up through the soles of my feet
I been a long time walking on fortunes cane
Tonight Im sleepin lightly and feelin no pain
Well heres to your good looks baby now heres to my health
Heres 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 Im building me a new home
Down in Lucky Town
Down in Lucky Town
Im gonna lose these blues Ive found
Down in Lucky Town |
Johnny works in a factory
And Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock n roll band
Looking for that million dollar sound
Me, sometimes I dont do nothing
Spend a lot of time alone
Some nights I go to the drive-in
And some nights I stay home
I followed that dream
Just like those guys do way up on the screen
And I drove 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 dreams
Well now, I built that Challenger by myself
But I needed money and so I sold it
I lived a secret I shouldve kept to myself
But I got drunk one night and I told it
All my life, I fought this fight
The one that no man can ever win
And every day just gets harder to live
The dream Im believing in
Thunder Road, oh baby, you were so right
Thunder Road, theres something dying down on the highway tonight
Well now, I won big once and I hit the coast
Oh, but somehow I paid the big cost
Inside, I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
Of all the other ones who lost
And when the promise is broken, you go on living
But man, it steals something from down in your soul
Like when the truth is spoken, and it dont make no difference
Something in your heart goes cold
Well, I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks
That dead ends in two-bit bars
And when the promise was broken, I was far away from home
Sleeping 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, oh, Billy and me, wed always sing
Thunder Road, we were gonna take it all and throw it all away |
Well papa go to bed now, its getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
Ill be leaving in the morning from St. Marys Gate
We wouldnt change this thing even if we could somehow
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
Theres a darkness in this town thats got us too
But they cant touch me now and you cant touch me now
They aint gonna do to me what I watched them do to you
So say goodbye, its Independence Day
Its Independence Day all down the line
Just say goodbye, its Independence Day
Its Independence Day this time
Now I dont know what it always was with us
We chose the words and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind
Well say goodbye, its Independence Day
Its Independence Day, all boys must run away
So say goodbye, its Independence Day
All men must make their way, come Independence Day
Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankies joint
And the highway shes deserted clear down to Breakers Point
Theres a lot of people leaving town now, leaving their friends, their homes
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone
Now papa go to bed now, its getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because theres just different people coming down here now and they see things in different ways
And soon everything weve known will just be swept away
So say goodbye, its Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But wont you just say goodbye, its Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away |
Sandy, the fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight
Forcing a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July
Down in the town, the Circuits full of 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 on the shore
Chasing all them silly New York virgins by the score
And Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey, Sandy girl
My, my, baby
Now, the greasers, ah, they tramp the streets
Or get busted for sleeping on the beach all night
Them boys in their high heels, ah, Sandy
Their skins are so white
And me, I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades, banging them pleasure machines
Chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk
Where they all 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 they kept me spinning, babe, didnt think Id ever get off
Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life on the water
Running, laughing neath the boardwalk
Ah, with the boss daughter
I remember, Sandy, girl
Na, na, na, na, na, baby
Sandy, that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night, she said she wont set herself on fire for me anymore
She worked that joint under the boardwalk
She was always the girl you saw bopping down the beach with the radio
The kids say last night she was dressed like a star
In one of them cheap little seaside bars
And I saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomo
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For tellin fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk lifes through, babe
You ought to quit this scene, too
Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
This pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight and I promise Ill love you forever
Oh, I mean it, Sandy, girl
My, my, my, my, my baby
Yeah, I promise, Sandy, girl
Sha, la, la, la, la, baby |
Because the night
Because the night
Because the night
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take my hand, come under cover
They cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night
Because the night belongs to us
Have a doubt, baby, when Im alone
Love is a ring; a telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our beds til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel, under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They cant touch you now, cant touch you now, cant touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, its a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
Well run till we drop, baby well never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
`Cause baby Im just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, babe
I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me?
Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
The 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 a mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highways jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybodys out on the run tonight
But theres no place left to hide
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
Ill love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday girl, I dont know when
Were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go, and well walk in the sun
But till then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run |
Well they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk theyre getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now theres trouble bussing in from out of state
And the DA cant get no relief
Gonna rumble down on the promenade
And the gambling commissioners hanging on by the skin of his teeth
Everything dies baby thats a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now 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
Everything dies baby thats a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now our luck may have died and love may be cold
But with you forever Ill stay
Now were going to where the sands turning to gold
So put on your stockings baby, because the nights getting cold
Everything dies, baby thats a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Now Ive been looking for a job but its hard to find
Down here its just winners and losers and dont get caught on the wrong side of that line
Im tired of coming out on that losing end
So honey last night I met this guy Im gonna do a little favor for him
Everything dies baby thats a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City |
Every day here you come walking

Men walking along the railroad tracks
Going someplace, theres no going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretching around the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobodys kidding nobody about where it goes
Im sitting down here in the campfire light
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box beneath the underpass
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the citys aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where its headed, everybody knows
Im sitting down here in the campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom said, Mom, wherever theres a cop beating a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where theres a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me, Mom, Ill be there
Wherever somebodys fighting for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Wherever somebodys struggling to be free
Look in their eyes, Ma, and youll see me
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobodys kidding nobody about where it goes
Im sitting down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
Well the highway is alive tonight
Nobodys fooling nobody about where it goes
Im sitting down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
With the ghost of old Tom Joad |

We said wed walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as were walkin a hand should slip free
Ill wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore wed travel darlin side by side
Wed help each other stay in stride
But each lovers steps fall so differently
But Ill wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So lets make our steps clear that the other may see
And Ill wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now theres a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There neath the oaks bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
Ill wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin Ill wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me... |
Your scrapbooks filled with pictures of all your leading men
Well baby dont put my picture in there with them
Dont make us some little girls dream that cant ever come true
That only serves to hurt and make you cry like you do
Well baby dont do it to me and I wont do it to you
You see all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home
But when the action fades youre left all alone
You deserve better than this, little girl, cant you see that you do
Do you need somebody to prove it to you?
Well you prove it to me and Ill prove it to you
Now every night you go out looking for true loves satisfaction
But in the morning you end up settling for just lights, camera, action
And another cameo role with some bit player youre befriending
Youre gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending
Well girl youre gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold
Cryin alone in the theater as the credits roll
You say Ill be like those other guys
Who filled your head with pretty lies
And dreams that can never come true
Well baby you be true to me
And Ill be true to you |
The screen door slams
Marys 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
Dont turn me home again
I just cant face myself alone again
Don’t run back inside
Darling, you know just what Im here for
So youre scared and youre thinking
That maybe we aint that young anymore
Show a little faith, theres magic in the night
You aint a beauty but hey, youre 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 Im 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 nights 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
Heavens waiting down on the tracks
Oh-oh, come take my hand
Were riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh-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-oh-oh-oh, Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold
Thunder Road
Well, I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my cars out back
If youre ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The doors open but the ride aint free
And I know youre lonely
For words that I aint spoken
Tonight, well be free
All the promisesll 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
When you get to the porch, theyre gone
On the wind
So Mary, climb in
Its a town full of losers
Im pulling out of here to win |
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
And now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk, theyre gettin ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now theres trouble busin in from outta state
And the D.A. cant get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin commissioners hangin on by the skin of his teeth
Everything dies, baby, thats a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on and fix your hair real pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well, I got a job and I tried to put my money away
Man, I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had out from the Central Trust
And then I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Everything dies, baby, thats a fact
And maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on and fix your hair real pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well, our luck may have died and our love may be cold
But with you forever Ill stay
Were goin out where the sands turn to gold
So put on your stockings, baby, cause the nights getting cold
And everything dies, baby, thats a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Now I been lookin for a job but its hard to find
Out here its winners and losers
And dont get caught on the wrong side of that line
Im tired of comin out on the losin end
So last night I met a guy downtown, Im gonna do a little favor for him
Everything dies and baby, thats a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair real pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City |
Well its Saturday night
Youre all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe youve been watching me too
Yeah somebody ran out
Left somebodys heart in a mess
Well if youre looking for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-looking Joe
On their arm
Some girls want a sweet-talking Romeo
Well round here baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if youre rough enough for love
Honey Im tougher than thе rest
The road is dark
And its a thin, thin, line
But I want you to know Ill walk it for you any timе
Maybe your other boyfriends
Couldnt pass the test
Well if youre rough and ready for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
Well it aint no secret
Ive been around a time or two
Well I dont know baby maybe youve been around too
Well theres another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
If youre rough and ready for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
Oh if youre rough enough for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
Oh, oh, oh
Im tougher than the rest
Im out here now baby
And if youre rough and ready for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
If youre ready for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest |
Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot
All the little girls souls grow weak when the man-child gives them a double shot
Them schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night
Them teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and everythings all right
Well, the kids down there either dancing or hooked up in a scuffle
Dressed in snake-skin suits packed with Detroit muscle
Theyre doing the E Street Shuffle
Now those E Street brats in twilight duel flashlight phantoms in full star stream
Down fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls pledged sweet sixteen
The newsboys say the heats been bad since Power Thirteen gave a trooper all he had in a summer scuffle
And Powers girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keeping those crazy boys out of trouble
Little Angel steps the shuffle like she aint got no brains
Shes deaf in combat down on Lovers Lane
She drives all them local boys insane
Yes, she does
Little Angel say, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, everybody form a line
When the sparks light on E Street when the boy-prophets walk it handsome and hot
All them little girls souls grow weak when the man-child gives them a double shot
Oh, Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joes, its a club where all the riot squad goes when theyre cashin in for a cheap hustle
But them boys are still on the corner loose and doin that lazy E Street Shuffle
And as them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams
Little Angel picks up Power and he slips on his jeans
And they move on out down to the scene
All the kids are dancing
Ha, hey! |
Well, lights out tonight
Trouble in the heartland
Got a head on collision
Smashin in my guts, man
Im caught in a cross fire
That I dont understand
But theres one thing I know for sure
I dont give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
Baby, I dont give a damn
For just the in-betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear, its so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just dont come
Dont waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the brokеn hearts stand
As the price youvе gotta pay
Keep pushin til its understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Workin in the fields
TIl you get your back burned
Workin neath the wheels
Til you get your facts learned
Honey, I got my facts learned
Real good right now
You better get it straight, darlin
Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
And a king aint satisfied
Til he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight
I wanna find out what I got
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that can save me
I believe in the hope and I pray
That someday it may raise me
Above these
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay
Keep pushin til its understood
And these badlands start treating us good
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it aint no sin to be glad that youre alive
I wanna find one face that aint looking through me
I wanna find one place
I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price youve gotta pay
Keep pushin til its understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands
Badlands |
At the moment the music began
And you heard the guitar player starting to sing
You were filled with the beauty that ran
Through what you were imagining
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love
I was the endless sky
And you were my beautiful dove
Now the music that played in your ears
Grows a little bit fainter each day
And you find yourself looking through tears
At the love you feel slipping away
Though its not the kind
Of love you might hope to find
If tears could release the heart
From the shadows preferred by the mind
Like a wind that comes up in the night
Caressing your face while you sleep
Love will fill your eyes with the sight
Of a world you cant hope to keep
Dreaming on after that moments gone
The light in your lovers eyes
Disappears with the light of the dawn
But the morning brings
Strength to your restless wings
Some other lover sings
To the suns bright corona
I know all about these things
Linda Paloma
Fly away

I got the fortunes of heaven in diamonds and gold
I got all the bonds, baby, that the bank could hold
I got houses cross the country, honey, end to end
And everybody buddy wants to be my friend
Well, I got all the riches, baby, any man ever knew
The only thing I ain’t got, honey, I ain’t got you
I got a house full of Rembrandt and priceless art
And all the little girls, they wanna tear me apart
When I walk down the street, people stop and stare
Well you’d think I might be thrilled but, baby, I don’t care
Cause I got morе good luck, honey, than old King Farouk
But the only thing I ain’t got, baby, I ain’t got you
I got a big diamond watch sitting on my wrist
I try to tempt you, baby, but you just rеsist
I made a deal with the devil, babe, I won’t deny
Until I got you in my arms, I can’t be satisfied
I got a pound of caviar sitting home on ice
I got a fancy foreign car that rides like paradise
I got a hundred pretty women knocking down my door
And folks wanna kiss me I ain’t even seen before
I been around the world and all across the seven seas
Been paid a king’s ransom for doing what comes naturally
But I’m still the biggest fool, honey, this world ever knew
Cause the only thing I ain’t got, baby, I ain’t got you
I ain’t got you
I ain’t got you
I ain’t got you |
New Jersey turnpike
Ridin on a wet night
Neath the refinerys glow
Out where the great black rivers flow
License, registration
I aint got none
But I got a clear conscience
About the things that I done
Mister state trooper, please, dont stop me
Please, dont stop me, please, dont stop me
Maybe you got a kid
Maybe you got yourself a pretty wife
The only thing that I gots
Been botherin mе my whole life
Mister statе trooper, please, dont stop me
Please, dont stop me, please, dont stop me
In the wee, wee hours your mind gets hazy
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby
Radios jammed up with talk show stations
Its just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience
Mister state trooper, please, dont stop me
Please, dont stop me, I said, please, dont stop me
Hey, somebody out there
Listen to my last prayer
Hi ho silver-o
Deliver me from nowhere
Mister state trooper, please, dont stop me
Please, dont stop me, I said, please, dont stop me |

I saw her standing on her front lawn just twirling 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 cant say that Im 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 a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir, and snaps my poor head 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 sould be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well, sir, I guess theres just a meanness in this world |
Cmon baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take my hand as the sun descends
They cant hurt you now
Cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now
Hey!
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when Im alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They cant touch you now
Cant touch you now, cant touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe its time, too real to feel
Touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Yeah-ayy
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh |
I wanna see everybody. Get those hands up one time. Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Yeah
Yeah
There she sits, buddy, just a gleaming in the sun
Waiting for a working man when his day is done
Gonna pack my ma and Im gonna pack my aunt
Gonna take em down to the Cadillac ranch
Eldorado fins, whitewalls, and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of Heaven here on Earth
Oh, brother, when I die throw my body, in the back
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let em roar
Tеaring down the highway like a big old dinosaur
James Dеan had a Mercury 49
Junior Johnson runnin through the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans-Am
All gonna meet at the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let em roar
Tearing down the highway like a big old dinosaur
Little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Ridin alone in the Massachusetts night
Youre my last love, honest, youre my last chance
Dont let em take me to the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let em roar
Tearing down the highway like a big old dinosaur
Yeah
Yeah |
Ik sta op als de nacht valt
En ik weet niet wat je zegt
Ik kom weer thuis in de ochtend
En ik voel mij nog altijd zo slecht
Het is alleen nog vermoeidheid
Maar ik heb het zo gehad met mezelf
Hé schoonheid
Ik heb het nodig dat je helpt
Want er kan geen vuur zijn
Er kan geen vuur zijn zonder vonken
Kom me halen
Dan gaan we dansen in het donker
Het begint me te dagen
Met de radio aan wacht ik op licht
Ik zie mezelf in dе spiegel
En ik wil alles andеrs, een ander gezicht
Dit is toch geen leven
In wat een puinhoop leef ik hier
Er moet iets gebeuren
Schoonheid neem me weg van hier
Want er kan geen vuur zijn
Er kan geen vuur zijn zonder vonken
Kom me halen
Dan gaan we dansen in het donker
K Zie de jaren voorbijgaan
En ik word ouder zonder er iets voor te doen
K Zie mezelf vanop afstand
Het is lachwekkend maar het voelt als toen
Als je te lang in de stad blijft
Worden de straten stukken van jezelf
Je moet je honger bewaren
En ik heb zon honger naar je lijf
K word gek van verlangen
Ben ziek van onrust hier in mij
K Heb je zo nodig
Schoonheid kom toch dichterbij
Want er kan geen vuur zijn
Als je maar blijft hangen in een oud verdriet
Kom schoonheid
Ook al dansen we maar één lied
Nee er kan geen vuur zijn
Als je bang bent om jezelf te verliezen
K Wil mn hart voelen bonken
Laten we dansen in het donker
Laten we dansen in het donker |
Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I dont do much talking
You say youre happy and youre doin fine
Well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Because sad eyes never lie
Because sad eyes never lie
Well for a while Ive been watching you steady
Aint gonna move til youre good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon youll be walkin this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Baby, dont you know I dont care?
Dont you know that Ive been there?
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Dont worry darling, itll slip your mind
I know you think youd never be mine
Well thats okay, baby, I dont mind
That shy smiles sweet, thats a fact
Go ahead, I dont mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and itll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in your hair
Like youre so sure Ill be standing there
I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
Never lie, never lie... |
One, two, three
When the night winds rustle the far away leaves
Rolling down the valley through the cottonwood trees
And a white river rises with last seasons rains
I awake in the darkness and I call your name
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
I lie awake and I know that sleep wont come soon
So I watch the headlights crawl up and down the wall of the lonesome room
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Last night I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea
Where the waters of Mystеry River go rushing endlessly
And thе love we swore would last as long as the waters roared on
I woke in the darkness, it was gone, gone, gone
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down, love
Dont back down on our love
Dont back down on our love |
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take my hand, come under cover
They cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now, cant hurt you now
Try and try when Im in your hands
In your hands
Belongs to your hands
Try and try when Im in your hands
Belongs to your hands
Because the night
Try and try when Im in your hands
In your hands
Belongs to your hands
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Belongs to us
Have a doubt, baby, when Im alone
Love is a ring; a telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our beds til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel, under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They cant touch you now, cant touch you now, cant touch you now
Try and try when Im in your hands
In your hands
Belongs to your hands
Try and try when Im in your hands
Belongs to your hands
Because the night
Try and try when Im in your hands
In your hands
Belongs to your hands
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us |
I saw her standin on her front lawn just 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 cant say that Im 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 a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head 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 sould be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess theres just a meanness in this world. |
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone?
Oh no, I got a bad desire
Ohh, Im on fire
Tell me now baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Ohh, Im on fire
Sometimes its like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my soul
And Id wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Ohh, Im on fire

I come from down in the valley where, Mister, when youre young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary met in high school when she was just seventeen
Wed ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
Wed go down to the river
And into the river, wed dive
Oh, down to the river wed ride
Then I got Mary pregnant and, man, that was all she wrote
For my nineteenth birthday, I got a union card and a wеdding coat
We went down to the courthousе and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smile, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night, we went down to the river
And into the river, wed dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there aint 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 act like I dont remember and Mary acts like she dont care
But I remember us riding in my brothers car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks, Id lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she takes
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it dont come true?
Or is it something worse?
Sends me down to the river
I know the river is dry
Sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh, down to the river
We dive |
Take me now baby
Here as I am
Pull me close
Try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
I break my back till the morning comes
Come on now
Try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They cant hurt you now
They cant hurt you now
They cant 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
Your love is here
And now the vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment
They cant hurt you now
They cant hurt us 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
So because the night |
Shell let you in her house
If you come knocking at night
Shell let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price, shell let you deep inside
Theres a secret garden she hides
Shell let you in her car
To go driving round
Shell let you into the parts of herself
Thatll bring you down
Shell let you in her heart if you got a hammer and vise
But into her secret garden, dont think twice
Youve gone a million miles
How far did you get
To that place where you cant remember
And you know you never forget
Shell lead you down a path
Therell be tenderness in the air
Shell let you come just far enough
So you know shes really there
Shell look at you and smile
And eyes will say
Shes got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away |
I was born down by the river
Where the dirty water flows
And the cold wind cut through me
It cut right through my clothes
And the anger and the yearning
Like fever in my veins
Set the fire burning, yeah
Now she came down from Knightstown
With her hands hard from the line
From the first time I laid eyes on her
I knew that shed be mine
Her father was a lawman
He swore hed shoot me dead
Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie
And Id have her like I said
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter like me
Jeannie needs a shooter, yeah
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter by her side
Jeannie needs a shooter
We met down by the river
On the final day in May
And when I leaned down to kiss her
She did not turn away
I drew out all my money
And together we did vow
To leave that very evening
And get away somehow
Jeannie needs a shooter
Shooter like me
Jeannie needs a shooter, yeah
Jeannie needs a shooter
A shooter by her side
Jeannie needs a shooter, hey
The night was cold and rainy
Down by the borderline
I was riding hard to meet her
When a shot rang out behind
As I lay there in the darkness
With a pistol by my side
Jeannie and her father rode off into the night
Jeannie needs a shooter |
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Sometimes its 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 soakin wet
And a freight train runnin through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire
Oh, oh, oh
Im on fire |
