"I've been drivin' all night, my hands wet on the wheel.
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel.
It's my baby callin', sayin', "I need you here."
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear."
The dark side's coming now, nothing is real
She'll never know just how I feel
From out of the shadows, she walks like a dream
Make me feel crazy, make me feel so mean Aint' nothing's gonna save ya from a love that's blind
Slip through the dark side and cross that line.....
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school They were wishing they were me that night........
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
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Even better than Born to Run, and that's coming from someone who is only a lukewarm Springsteen fan...
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me, and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
