Lyrics for Backstreets by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Born To Run | | Track: | Backstreets | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 231 | | | | Lyrics: | One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
Trying in vain to breathe the fire we
was born in
Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
Sleeping in
that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
And hiding on the backstreets,
hiding on the backstreets
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
Running for our
lives at night on them backstreets
Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at
Stockton's Wing
Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
In the deep heart of the night to
set us loose from everything
to go running on the backstreets, running on the backstreets
We swore we'd live forever on the backstreets we take it together
Endless juke
joints and Valentino drag where dancers scraped the tears
Up off the street dressed down in
rags running into the darkness
Some hurt bad some really dying at night sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it
on the truth that ran us down you can blame it all on me Terry
It don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
But I hated him and I
hated you when you went away
Laying here in the dark you're like an angel on my chest
Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
Remember all the movies,
Terry, we'd go see
Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
And
after all this time to find we're just like all the rest
Stranded in the park and forced to
confess
To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets
We swore forever
friends on the backstreets until the end
Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
