“I'm working on a dream,
Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay.
I'm working on a dream;
Our love will chase the trouble away.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Working on a Dream"
Song lyrics, Working on a Dream (2009)

“Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
Between flesh and what's fantasy and the poets down here
Don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be.
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead
Tonight in Jungleland.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Jungleland"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)

“I got God on my side.
I'm just trying to survive.
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love?
Fear's a powerful thing;
It can turn your heart black you can trust.
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust”

Bruce Springsteen

"Devils & Dust"
Song lyrics, Devils & Dust (2005)

“When I die I don't want no part of heaven.
I would not do heaven's work well.
I pray the devil comes and takes me
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell.”

Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Context: Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night;
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right.
Oh and that's all right with me.

“We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.”

Bruce Springsteen book Born to Run

"Born to Run"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Context: 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 on Highway 9,
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And steppin' out over the line.
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.

“I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet.
These days you don't wait on Romeo's,
You wait on that welfare check.”

"Point Blank"
Song lyrics, The River (1980)

“I'm stranded in the jungle,
Taking all the heat they was giving.
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living.
From a tenement window a transistor blasts,
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast.
She hit me with a Tenth Avenue freeze-out.
Tenth Avenue freeze-out.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)

“The first day I can remember looking into a mirror and being able to stand what I saw was the day I had a guitar in my hand.”

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen Talking

“Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy.
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company.
Every fool's got a reason to feelin' sorry for himself
And turn his heart to stone.
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell,
And I feel like I'm comin' home.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Better Days"
Song lyrics, Lucky Town (1992)

“Hell's brewin', dark sun's on the rise.
This storm'll blow through by and by.
House is on fire, wiper's in the grass;
A little revenge and this too shall pass.
This too shall pass, I'm gonna pray.
Right now all I got's this lonesome day.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Lonesome Day"
Song lyrics, The Rising (2002)

“I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust.
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust.
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie.
Home's a long, long way from us.
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust.”

Bruce Springsteen

Come on up, lay your hands in mine.
Come on up for the rising.
Come on up for the rising tonight.”

But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand.”

And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around.”

Song lyrics, Tunnel Of Love (1987)

“Now I don't 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.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Independence Day"
Song lyrics, The River (1980)

Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay.
We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Badlands"
Song lyrics, Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)

“Well, no cannon ball did fly, no rifles cut us down.
No bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the ground.
No powder flash blinded the eye.
No deathly thunder sounded.
But just as sure as the hand of God,
They brought death to my hometown.
They brought death to my hometown.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Death to My Hometown"
Song lyrics, Wrecking Ball (2012)

“Everybody's got a secret Sonny,
Something that they just can't 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.”

Bruce Springsteen

"Darkness on the Edge of Town"
Song lyrics, Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
