OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

It's all over now, the things we had
I ain't sorry, girl, I just feel mad
You walk real pretty and you talk real fine
But night after night, babe, I’m on the line
My life's the same story, again and again
I'm on the outside looking in
(I'm on the outside looking in)
Well, every day just brings the same
You go out looking for some strange new games
Pretty soon them games ain't fun anymore
There's something else that you're looking for
You’ve got all the answers, you and your friends
And I'm on the outside looking in
(I'm on the outside looking in)
Yes, I'm on the outside looking in
Now you've got the pretty things you want
The sins of the angels, baby, they will haunt
Those pretty eyes that they all adore
But, baby, not me, not anymore
I do what I want to, I'll be what I am
I'm on the outside looking in
(I'm on the outside looking in)
Yeah, I'm on the outside looking in
(I'm on the outside looking in)
Baby, yes, I am
(I'm on the outside looking in)
Ah, baby, yes, I am
(I'm on the outside looking in)
Well, baby, I'm on the outside looking in
(I'm on the outside looking in)

SOMEDAY (WE'LL BE TOGETHER)

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! 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
Listen 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 miss
Tonight my only wish is
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! Tonight
Someday we'll be together
And the night will fall around us
This love will last forever
Someday you'll be mine
Oh!
Someday you'll be mine
Oh!
(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)

ONE WAY STREET

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 brings the shadows of your lies
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
Oh, my darling! I must, I must confess
This can't be love
No, I am just a man possessed
And so the tide 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

WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET 

Turn on the radio, turn off the lights
We’ll bring an end, darling, to your endless night
You’re on the wrong side of the street
I see your fortune in the lines in your face
I know you’re looking for your saving grace
You’re on the wrong side of the street
Fear and desire, such a sweet confusion, well
Open your eyes and throw down your illusions and see
You never belonged here with me
You and your poetry and your cool cool world
You been working hard on that face of a martyr girl
You’re on the wrong side of the street
You got the look and you own your world
But here you better check
Your diamonds and your pearls
You’re on the wrong side of the street
You get bored of every day bringing the same
So you go out looking for
Some strange new games
But pretty soon
You don't know the score
Or what you’re looking for
You get bored of every day bringing the same
So you go out looking for
Some strange new games
But pretty soon
You don't know the score
Or what you came here for
Turn on the radio, turn off the lights
We’ll bring an end, darling, to this endless night
Here on the wrong side of the street
Fear and desire, such a sweet confusion, well
Open your eyes and throw down your illusions and see
Tonight there’s no one here, but you and me

THE BROKENHEARTED

Well, darling
Oh, won't you come a little closer?
I promise, pretty darling
I didn't know what I was saying
And now I’m praying
That you won't say it's over
Come here, pretty baby
And rest your head upon my shoulder
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 forever burning
In 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’ve paid
For the good times and the laughter
Girl, I should've known
For 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
Uncared for of slipping away
The deck is cut, the cards turned
The hand is played
And all we ever hope for
Burns to ashes and drifts away
Now don’t let our love
Slip 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 me that you love me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you love me
And tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you want me
And, come on, now, darling
Say it right, now, baby
Say it right, now, darling
Tell me that you love me

CANDY'S BOY

Well, in Candy's room
There are pictures of her saviour on the wall
But to get to Candy's room
You gotta 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’d go riding 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 there was nothing left
And drove that old car
As hard and fast as she would go
Well, I got a cold winter wind
Blowing in, babe, I needed you
But Candy's got a man
Who takes care of her better than I do
Well, there's machines and there’s fire
Waitin' for us on the edge of town
And there's some rough boys for hire
And they’re waitin' to blow me and Candy down
That's all right
‘Cause they can't touch us now
They’ll never destroy
My sweet love for I will forever be Candy’s boy
Hmmm
My sweet love for I will forever be Candy’s boy
Alright!

SAVE MY LOVE

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
Here 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
Let’s the music take us
And carry us home
There's a prayer coming through the air
Like a shot straight through my heart
Tearing open the evening sky
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

AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH 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
Logic defies
How you get 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
Oh!
I give up, little darling
Yeah, no matter what I do
Girl, 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 we stay in, you say, “what are we living for?”
I don’t understand, there’s nothing I can do
There ain’t no way I can to satisfy you
End of the night I lean in for a kiss
Here comes the pitch, swing and a miss
Oh!
I quit, little darling
Yeah, no matter what I do
Girl, you know it’s true
Ain’t good enough for you
Hey!
Oh!
Hey, hey, little darling
No matter what I do
Girl, 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 Bloomingdales1
And, babe, I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting 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
Oh!
I quit, little darling
Yeah, no matter what I do
Girl, 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

SPANISH EYES

Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
Baby, I’ve been watching you for a long, long time
Come close, we could have us some fun
And after the burning is done
Our ruins will shine through the night
Where you took me with your Spanish eyes
He’s your Saturday night special, baby
Is he good to you?
Does he have money, honey, like I do?
Can he do the things that I’ll do for you?
If your answer it isn’t so clear
Then, maybe, you should stay right here
Let your doubts slip away ‘neath your sighs
Let me kiss your Spanish eyes
When the music it plays
And the dancers sway with sweet emotion
And the dance floor is filled
Promises of complete devotion
Close to feel your motion, yeah, bring it on in
Come on and stretch out, baby
And call your daddy home
I’m running tonight, I won’t be long
I got something special, baby
Just meant for you
Here where the road narrows and turns
The only light’s from the fire that burns
Here ‘neath the coal black sky
When I look into your Spanish eyes...

IT'S A SHAME

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, night
And again
Oh, girl, it’s a shame
Oh, girl, it’s a doggone shame
We worked so hard, but it’s all in vain
Oh, girl, it’s a shame
Now, I bought your golden diamond rings
And I brought you home your pretty things
And I thought I’d shown
All the love I had for you
Yes, I did
But as hard as I try it all falls through
Well, maybe, I was born to be just your fool
Trying to satisfy your every desire
Each need you require
Well, oh, girl, it’s a shame
Oh, girl, it’s a doggone shame
I worked so hard, but it’s all in vain
Oh, girl, it’s a shame
Someone now!
Oh, girl, it’s a shame
Oh, girl, it’s a doggone shame
We worked so hard, but it’s all in vain
Oh, girl, it’s a shame
Oh, girl, it’s a shame
Oh, girl, it’s a doggone shame
We worked so hard, but it’s all in vain
Oh, girl, it’s a shame

COME ON (LET'S GO TONIGHT)

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 have failed
Their dreams denied?
They walk through these streets
With death in their eyes
Now the man on the radio says
“Elvis Presley died”
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
Well now, some came to witness
Now some came to weep
Drawn by deaths strange glory
They stood in the street
Drawn together, forever
In the promise of an endless sleep
Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
Hey! Come on, come on, let’s go tonight
La, ra, ra, ra…

TALK TO ME

Well, every night
I see a light shine in your window
And every night
You don't answer when I come knocking at your door
Well, your daddy won't ever let me in
And I see from the street
Your silhouette sittin’ close to him
What must I do?
What does it take
To get you to?
Ah, talk to me
Well, until the night is over
Little girl, won’t you 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 now, late at night
I hear the music softly playing
And late at night
I see the two of you softly swayin’
I don't understand, darling, what was my sin
Why am I down here below
Your arms are open to him?
What did I do?
What did I say?
What must I pay
To get you to?
Talk to me
Well, until the night is over
Little girl, won’t you talk to me
Just until it’s all 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, darling
Talk to me
All right?
I don't understand, darling, what was my sin
Why am I down here below
And your arms are open to him?
What did I do?
What did I say?
Why must I pay
To get you to?
Talk to me
Just until the night is over
Little girl, won’t you talk to me
Well, until the night is over?
Yeah, 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
Oh!, I’m just
Well, I’m just asking, darling, please
And, baby, I’m down on my knees

To get you to

Talk to me
Well, until the night's over
Little girl, won't you talk to me
Until it's all over?
Come on, darling and talk to me
Well, until it's all over
Little girl, won't you talk to me
Well, until it's all over?
And I wanna say yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!...

THE LITTLE THINGS (MY BABY DOES)

The way she kisses so tenderly
The way she gives her love to me
I been felled 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 makes 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
Dissapear with
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 been felled 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 makes me love her
And when the night closes in
I’m drifting and I can’t find a friend
On the wings of the angels I’m saved by her love
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That makes 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

BREAKWAY

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
Now 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! Ronde, ronde, ronde, ronde ray
To breakaway
Janie slipped from behind the bar last night
Cashed out and walked onto streets
Rainy and grey
To breakaway
Janie slid into a car last night
In a parking lot she gave her soul away
To breakaway
Now 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! Ronde, ronde, ronde, ronde ray
To breakaway
Bobby lay ‘neath a sheet of stars last night
His back on blacktop still warm
From the heat of the day
From breakaway
Bobby went down hard last night
Saw a shooting star
As the evening lights slipped away
From breakaway
Now 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! Ronde, ronde, ronde, ronde ray
From breakaway
Oh! Breakaway
To breakaway
To breakaway
To breakaway

CITY OF NIGHT
Taxicab, taxicab at the light

Won't you take me on a ride
Through this city of 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
But taxicab driver, hey, that ain't me
I got a cute little baby
Down at Twelfth and Vine
And she opens for business just about closin' time
Ah! Hey, hey
Ah! Hey, hey
City of night
City of night
And I don't believe what I see in this street
I don't know how they can take the heat1
Well, baby, I'm a liar
I'm a cheat and I don't care
I got my money, I can take my fare
Ah! Hey, hey
Ah! Hey, hey
City of night
City of night
I'm ridin' tonight to see my sugar girl
You know she wears that dress without a care in the world
Yeah, she got some lovin’ that’s as bright as the sun
And she brings it with her man when she comes
Hey, hey
City of night
Hey, hey
City of night
Ride on

  THE WAY

The way your heart beats
When I hold you tight
The way you sigh
When we kiss goodnight
The way the wind blows through the trees
Well, hey, that’s the way you belong to me
The way you warm me, baby, when I’m cold
The way you make me want you body and soul
The way the rivers run to the sea
Well, hey, that’s the way you belong to me
The way you soothe me when I’m in pain
The way you make the blood rush in my veins
The way the wind rush through the trees
Well, hey, that’s the way you belong to me
When I lose faith you take my hand
The way you make me feel like I’m a man
The way the sun belongs to the sea
Well, hey, that’s the way you belong to me
The way you make me feel like I belong
And if I could, girl, though I know it’d be wrong
I’d lock you deep inside
‘Till the last rains fall
And hide you from the emptiness of it all
Sometimes at night I lie awake
I pull you close and feel each breath you take
The way the rivers belong to the seas
Well, hey, that’s the way you belong to me
Well, hey, that’s the way you belong to me

COME ON (LET'S GO TONIGHT)

[Alternative verse that appears in the documentary The

Promise: The Making of “Darkness on the Edge of Town”]

Come on, come on, let's go tonight
You could see it in the morning
Outside the foreman's gate
With death in their eyes
And hearts filled with hate
Well, if we're going down there
Somebody's gonna get hurt tonight
Come on, come on, let's roll tonight
Alright...

SAVE MY LOVE

And I will run the...
...behind me
Tonight I'll park out on that hill
Wait until they find me
...
...
...
So turn up your radio
'Cause I love you the most
We're... up the airwaves
We're traveling coast to coast
And if I find the money
I'm gonna give it all to you
All my...
...
Hold me in your arms and we will run away
...we will run away
Oh Run away
Oh
...hold my hand
...
...all right
...
If I...
...
...
...will be the same
...
...will be the same
Oh ...alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah

: SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT

Well, I’m driving down Kingsley
Figuring I’ll get a drink
I turn the radio way up loud
So I don’t have to think
And I ease down on the gas
Searching for a moment
When the world seems right
And I go tearing into the heart
Of something in the night
And I picked this chick up hitchhiking
She just hung her head out the window and she screamed
Said she was looking for someplace to go
To die or be redeemed
So you can ride this road
‘Til dawn
Without another human being in sight
‘Cause, baby, everybody’s gone looking
For something in the night
Sometimes you gotta stop running
You gotta stop fooling around
You know I got stuff running 'round my head
I can't live with or live down
She wants me to push this charger
Until the whole world disappears
We can leave it behind out of sight
Together we could surrender to the justice
Of something in the night
Oh! And tonight no sins are forgotten
Nothing is forgiven
And when I look out on the street
We can't tell the day from the [night]
Now, looks, looks like winners and losers
Just mumbling ‘bout some vague wrong and right
Oh! And kids like us rumbling, girl
Over something in the night
Oh! There's something in the night
Oh! There's something in the night

THE PROMISE

Three, four
Johnny works in a factory
Hey, Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock and roll band
Looking for that million-dollar sound
Yeah, me, I got a job down in Denville
But some nights I just don’t go
I said I ride to the drive-in1
Oh, some nights I just stay home
Well, I followed that dream
Just like those guys do way up on the screen
I drove a Challenger down Route Nine
Through the dead ends
And all the bad scenes
And when the promise was broken
I cashed in a few of my own dreams
Well now, I built that Challenger by myself
But I needed money and so I sold it
I lived a secret I should have 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’t ever win
Every day it just gets harder
A dream I’m believing in
Thunder Road
..... the evening 'till it turns light
Thunder Road
There’s something dying out on the highway tonight
Well, my daddy taught me how to walk quiet
And how to make my peace with the past
I learned real good to tighten up inside
And I don't say nothing unless I'm asked
When the promise is broken you go on livin’
It steals something from down in your soul
Like when the truth gets spoken
Don’t make a difference
Something in your heart just turns cold
Well, I followed that dream
Through the southwestern flats
The dead ends and the two-bit bars
The promise was broken
I was far away from home
Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder Road
Thunder Road
Here’s all for the tires
Rushin’ by in the rain
Thunder Road
Remember what me and Billy we always say
Thunder Road
We wanna take it all
Gonna throw it all away
Gonna throw it all away
Throw it all away..

POINT BLANK

Say your prayers, little darling
And go to bed tonight
Pray that tomorrow
Everything will be alright?
But tomorrows fall in number
In number one by one
You wake up and you're dying
You don't even know what from
Well, they shot you
Point blank
They shot you in the back
Baby, point blank
You've been fooled this time
Little girl, that's a fact
Right between the eyes
They got you, point blank
Right between the pretty lies
That they sell
And there's nothing you can do about it, baby
They fed you and they raised you
How well you learned
That all the pretty little things that baby wants
Baby, has to earn
So you worked your hands down to the bone
Till drove you at night
But all that pretty little things that baby needs
She can never have
They got you, point blank
They got you in their sights
Baby, point blank
One false move and, baby, the lights go out
Point blank
Right between the eyes
They got you, point blank
Right between the pretty lies that they sell
Day turns to night time
And the night turns to day
And all, all of your hopes and your promises
Somehow they just fade away
Till they got you, they got you
Holding your number
And just try to stay alive
Don't you know, girl
That no-one survives unhurt?
No-one survives untouched, no-one survives
Hearts filled with anger
And hearts toughen with hate
You see them faces on the street
And you just turn away
But, baby, it's too late
You hear 'em cryin' at night
You hear that knockin' at your door
There's no sleep for baby tonight, and so
You stumble out into the morning
Yeah, searching for your usual fix
But, girl, them old distractions
They just don't give the kicks they used to
So you go home and pack your pistol
Yeah, you go out lookin' for someone
But, little girl
They got you caught in the middle
You don't know where to aim your gun

Oh, baby, baby! Point blank
Right between the eyes
Baby, point blank
Right between the pretty lies that they sell
Point blank
They got you in their sights
Point blank
One false move
And, baby, the lights go out
Baby, point blank
One false move
And, baby, the lights go out
They've got you in their sights
Baby, point blank
One false move
And, baby, the lights go out
Point blank
One false move
And, baby, the lights go out

6} MONA

Sweet little girl livin' down your lane
I wanna tell you, now, Mona’s her name
Baby, I wanna tell you what I wanna do
I'm gonna build a big house next door to you
We'll go walking in the park
Baby, we'll go kissing in the dark
I need you, baby, that's no lie
Without your love I’ll surely die
Without her love I’ll surely die
Hey, Mona
Humm, Mona
Hey, Mona
Ah! Mona
All right!
Well, over in a road on Saturday night
Two boys fighting in a halo of light
Car doors flung open
Radios loud
Man, everybody’s shouting and running around
Two boys fighting, what I don’t know
And the little girls shouting, "Go, Billy, go
Billy, go, Billy, go”
I need you, Mona, that's no lie
Without your love I’ll surely die
Come out, come out on the front
Baby, listen to my heart is been bumpity bump
Is been bumpity bump
[“She’s the One” starts]

YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN

Hey, pretty baby!
I don't you hear the drummer thumpin'
We gonna shake it like a crazy
Because the band is sayin' something
And everybody is a jumpin'
We gonna shake, break, flip, flop, flop
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down)
You gotta move, move, move, a round and round
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down)
You gotta fly, fly, fly, way off the ground
You're puttin down, a crazy shout
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
When you're on South Street
(You can't sit down)
And the band is really bootin'
(You can't sit down)
You hear the hip beat with the back beat
(You can't sit down)
And everybody is a groovin'
(You can't sit down)
You gotta get your bottom movin'
(You can't sit down)
I’m gonna shake, break, flip, flop, flop
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down)
You gotta move, move, move, a round and round
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down)
You can't sit down, you can't sit down
Fly, fly, fly, way off the ground
You movin' em down
A crazy shout, you can't sit down
Big Man!
Hey, pretty darling
(You can't sit down)
You know you really looking fine now
(You can't sit down)
…baby
(You can't sit down)
I want to shake you one more time now
(You can't sit down)
…everybody…
(You can't sit down)
I’m gonna shake, break, flip, flop, flop
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down)
You gotta move, move, move, a round and round
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down)
Fly, fly, fly...
You movin' em down
A crazy shout, you can't sit down
