Streets of Fire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the night's quiet and you don't care anymore
And your eyes are tired and there's someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and, baby, I ain't no liar, I walk
[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
[Verse 2]
Now I'm wandering, the loser down the track
And I'm lyin' but, babe, I can't go back
'Cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name
And when you realize how they tricked you this time
And it's all lies but I'm strung out on the wire in these
[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire (Alright)
[Guitar Solo]
When the night's quiet and you don't care anymore
And your eyes are tired and there's someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and, baby, I ain't no liar, I walk
[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
[Verse 2]
Now I'm wandering, the loser down the track
And I'm lyin' but, babe, I can't go back
'Cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name
And when you realize how they tricked you this time
And it's all lies but I'm strung out on the wire in these
[Chorus]
Streets of fire
Streets of fire
Streets of fire (Alright)
[Guitar Solo]
About
Genius Annotation
The album Darkness on the Edge of Town which was released in 1978 was one of Bruce Springsteen’s landmark records. In a review for the Rolling Stones Dave Marsh wrote that the album was deemed successful because it connected the characters and themes in a subtle, but cohesive manner. Marsh remarked that the subject matter of the songs fulfills the hype that previously surrounded him:
“What they’ve always said was that someday Bruce Springsteen would make rock & roll that would shake men’s souls and make them question the direction of their lives.”
