[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

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
'Til you spend half your life just coverin' up

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

He rides headfirst into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
Just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
And so don't look at my face
Don't, don't come around my place
'Cause I'm strung out on the wire

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

In the Bible brother Cain slew Abel
And East of Eden mama he was cast
You're born into this life paying
For the sins of somebody else's past

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

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?

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

And tell her
There's a darkness on the edge of town
There's a darkness on the edge of town

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

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

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

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

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

And you're in love with all the wonder it brings
And every muscle in your body sings as the highway ignites
You work nine to five and somehow you survive 'til the night

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

And I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

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 turns cold

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

Well the kids down there are either dancing or hooked up in a scuffle
Dressed in snakeskin suits packed with Detroit muscle
They're doing the E Street Shuffle

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
And so don't look at my face
Don't, don't come around my place
'Cause I'm strung out on the wire

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

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

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

That thunder in your heart
At night when you're kneeling in the dark
It says you're never gonna leave her
But there's this angel in her eyes
That tells such desperate lies
And all you want to do is believe her

[bruce springsteen lyric bot @brucebot]

And I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black night
And I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
That in this darkness I will disappear
