SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT

Live version 5

Whoaaa Whooaaaaa
Yeah yeah yeah
Whoooooaaaa
I'm riding down Kingsley
Figuring I'll get a drink
Turn the radio way up loud
So I don't have to think
I take her to the floor
Looking for a moment when the world seems right
And I tear into the guts
Of something in the night

Well God's angels can tear this town down
And blow it all into the sea
Well I don't give a damn, yeah that's alright with me
But the streets are living souls but there's nothing but heroes inside
Just mutations that gone wrong
Something in the night

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven
When it's your last time around
I got stuff running 'round my head
That I just can't live down

Well we found the things we loved
They were crushed and dying in the dirt
We thought we could pick up the pieces
And get away without getting hurt
But they caught us at the state line
And burned our cars in one last fire fight
And sent us running burned and blind
Chasing something in the night
Whooooaaaaa
Whooooaaaaa
Hey!

Liner notes from the One Step Up / Two Steps Back: The Songs Of Bruce Springsteen tribute booklet:

Since my feet could reach the pedals, "Something In The Night" has been my quintessential, "ridin' alone in the car at night" song. Since I've lived on Kingsley Drive, the opening line of this song has become my car mantra every time I pull onto my street. Thanks Bruce for making it OK to keep a messy mind.
