lyrics

There’s a darkness on the edge of town
I can feel it closing in
Oh there’s something in the night and it just ain’t right
Yeah it stinks of sweat of smoke and sin
These badlands just got worse
And the dream has disappeared
‘Cause the promised land we sought was never round here
Mr Springsteen can you hear me?
Can you tell me what I must do?
I don’t know any girls called Mary
But I really want to live my life like you
But further on up the road I see a glimmer of light
I’m gonna leave my city of ruins and head for paradise
It’s an empty sky and a lonesome day
‘Cause you’re missing, we’re worlds apart
But you’re waiting up that road, I know in my heart
Mr Springsteen do you receive me?
Is my message coming through?
‘Cause I’m telling ya Bruce, you’ve gotta believe me
You’re the reason that I’m doing what I do
So what if I never was never built to last?
‘Cause still I’ll stand my ground
Against the storm that’s ripping through this town
When night came down it came down fast
It chased me through the backstreets until at last I saw the sun
I saw her face in the sun
And if she’s the one
Then for tramps like her, maybe I was born to run
