Down in the shadow of the penitentiary/Out by the gas fires of the refinery/I'm 10 years burning down the road/Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go,
Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz between what's flesh and what's fantasy.
Did God make man in a breath of holy fire, or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire?
Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.
A great rock band searches for the same kind of combustible force that fueled the expansion of the universe after the big bang. You want the earth to shake and spit fire. You want the sky to split apart and for God to pour out.
You can't start a fire without a spark
You can't start a fire, worryin about your little world fallin apart, this gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
We just sit around talking about the old times She says when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking about: Glory days, well they'll pass you by Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye, Glory days, glory days
People deserve... the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
People deserve. . . the truth. They deserve honesty. The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
Bruce Springsteen and the Trope of the Female Salvator?
Everything I knew and dreamed about was packed into those songs,
See, I was nine years old when I saw Elvis on 'Ed Sullivan', and I had to get a guitar the next day. I stood in front of my mirror with that guitar on. . . and I knew then that's what had been missing.
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright.
