Sunday matinee In a one dog town Youre two seats away I move two seats down Wipe the tears from your eyes The first kiss i stole I walk you home The credits roll Fade to black Fade to black Fade to black Fade to black I hear my voice On the telephone But Im just running The same old business I feel like Im off Somewhere so alone Just watching us both Running the distance Watching us both Slowly pull back Fade to black Fade to black Fade to black I come home Clothes all over the place Youre crying in the corner Makeup running down your face Your case is packed The fight starts I cursin Baby is this the scene Which we been rehearsin Is this the one Or have i lost track Waitin for us To fade to black Fade to black Fade to black Fade to black A face wet with shame Eyes filled with hurt I scream out your name You rip my shirt A small bungalow A late afternoon The sunlight falls Like a bright veil A camera pans An empty room The picture dissolves Slowly pulls back Fade to black Fade to black Fade to black

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor Shes waiting tonight down in the parking lot Outside the Seven-Eleven store Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only run for the money got no strings attached We shut em up and then we shut em down Tonight tonight the strips just right Im going to blow em off in my first heat Summers here and the time is right For racing in the street We take all the action we can meet And we cover all the northeast states When the strip shuts down we run em in the street From the fire roads to the interstate Now Some guys they just give up living And start dying little by little piece by piece Some guys come home from work and wash up And go racing in the street Tonight tonight the strips just right Im going to blow em all out of their seats Calling out around the world Were going racing in the street He met her on the strip three years ago In a Camaro with this dude from L.A He blew that Camaro off his back and he drove that little girl away But now theres wrinkles around his babys eyes And she cries herself to sleep at night When he comes home the house is dark She says Baby did you make it al-right? She sits on the porch of her daddys house But all her pretty dreams are torn She stares out alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just being born For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels Rumbling through this promised land Tonight my baby and me were going to ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands Tonight tonight the highways bright Out of our way mister you best keep Cause summers here and the time is right For racing in the street

No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock Im clinging Since love is Lord in Heaven and Earth How can I keep from singing?

Last night I dreamed that I was a child Out where the pines grow wild and tall I was trying to make it home through the forest Before the darkness falls I heard the wind rustling through the trees And ghostly voices rose from the fields I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path With the devil snapping at my heels I broke through the trees and there in the night My fathers house stood shining hard and bright The branches and brambles tore my clothes, scratched my arms But I ran til I fell shaking in his arms I awoke and I imagined hard things that pulled us apart Now will never again, sir, tear us from each others hearts I got dressed and to that house, I did ride From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light I walked up the steps and stood on the porch A woman I didnt recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door I told her my story and who Id come for She said, Im sorry, but no one by that name lives here anymore My fathers house shines hard and bright It stands like a beacon calling me in the night Calling and calling, so cold and alone Shining cross this dark highway where all our sins lie unatoned

I threw my robe on in the morning Watched the ring on the stove turn red Stared hypnotized into a cup of coffee Pulled on my boots and made the bed Screen door hanging off its hinges Kept banging me awake all night As I look out the window The only thing in sight Is dry lightning on the horizon line Just dry lightning and you on my mind I chased the heat of her blood Like it was the holy grail Descend beautiful spirit Into the evening pale Her appaloosas kicking Kicking in the corral smelling rain Theres a low thunder rolling Cross the mesquite plain Id drive down to Alvarado Street Where shed dance to make ends meet Id spend the night over my gin As shed talk to her men The piss yellow sun Comes bringing up the day She said Aint nobody can give nobody What they really need anyway Well you get so sick of the fighting You lose your fear of the end But I cant lose your memory And the sweet smell of your skin

Except roll down the window And let the wind blow Back your hair Well the nights busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heavens waiting on down the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand Were riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know its late we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road sit tight take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my cars out back If youre ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The doors open but the ride it aint free And I know youre lonely For words that I aint spoken But tonight well be free All the promisesll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch theyre gone On the wind so Mary climb in Its a town full of losers And Im pulling out of here to win

The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over shangai Them soldier boys were returning home screaming banzai And the kids are still playing their games Gettin hustled and rustled out in the rain As i sat inside listening to the broadcast Oh save my soul sweet rocknroll cause im sinkin fast And then the band played Out of nowhere, it was alright Well now the legendary chaplain of the fightin 51st was gettin ready to go I said: padre, do you know a cheap virgin who like to tango? He said: you can try linda lee Around the corner and across the sea Oh word is out word is out shes fast Oh blow me down linda cause im sinkin fast Yes and them cats are sure getting fat Down in the train yard And the sandman brings them dreams To ship out in boxcars The union says hold, break out the dice, break out the gold Its lunchtime at last And old big mama said: georges rafts tonight on the late show She sits straddlin a kitchen chair, really gung-ho She shivers with chills, wet with her slot-card thrills Hypnotically lost in the glass And we all sigh with the sunrise As we watch the credits pass And the little blue dot went away And then the morning cloak fell down Like a hoax over sleepytown Them garbage truck vigilantes out making their last rounds The inheritor he sipped his beer And poked fun at the queer And threatened to kick his ass And the bell rings, a horn blows And hes outside pumpin gas But the things were movin so slow tonight So the kid goes back inside the station And turns on his radio to his local am station And then the band played Right on the radio, it was alright And the boys in the band sung And the band played, everybody

I swear that Ive seen your face somewhere back in that time And Im in theat place. do you remember? The old house stood like world war two with just rooms And a hall to be used The lady was mean Just slightly unclean with a heart of cold silver and gold Kitchen smelled of kerosene Celing hung down on ? veil? and rotted beams And the man, they said, his work could of hung in the room Now he sits around all day because his left arm wont move He was a master of the art of electricity He lectured on tours and circuitry He was self-employed, but he could never see his way into the light He had a room full of switches and dials and lights and A head full of clouds and eyes full of sight And when it got dark I could hear his heartbeat like a mother in the night She stood like a guardian ready to give everything up If I had asked for a sword and her blood in a cup But there was just time when I asked for too much She sighed because she could not give it We used to sit beneath the tree just the lady, the radio man and me And I think it was the winter of 63 the man went away and let us be It was early on an august day that the lady decided she must go away Her heart it seems could not pay the price for what her body was buying I came home from school and I found the note went into the kitcken And lit the old stone with songs set on overload I turned on the tv, spent the rest of the sfternoon watching All my cartoons thru the hall And across the porch was the sun surrendered like a crying torch

Well, my soul checked out missing as I sat listening To the hours and minutes ticking away Yeah, just sitting around, waiting for my life to begin It was all just slipping away And Im tired of waiting for tomorrow to come Or that train to come roaring round the bend I got a new suit of clothes, a pretty red rose And a woman I can call my friend These are better days, baby Better days shining through These are better days, baby Better days with a girl like you Well, I took a piss at fortunes sweet kiss Its like eating caviar and dirt Its a sad, funny ending to find yourself pretending A rich man in a poor mans shirt Now, my ass was dragging when from a passing country wagon Your heart like a diamond shone Tonight, Im laying in your arms, Im carving lucky charms Out of these hard luck bones Cause these are better days, baby These are better days, its true These are better days, baby Better days are shining through Now, a life of leisure and a pirates treasure Dont make much for tragedy But its a sad man, my friend, whos living in his own skin And cant stand the company Every fools got a reason for feeling sorry for himself And turn his heart right into to stone Tonight, this fools halfway to heaven and just a mile out of hell And I feel like Im coming home These are better days, baby Theres better days shining through These are better days, baby Better days with a girl like you These are better days, baby These are better days, its true These are better days, baby Better days are shining through

Theyre the Hollywood kids each and every one With a high class smile and a little babys tongue Lonely hard head losers dressed in the tinsel of the times And learn all the latest lines and the order in which they come So perfumed sweet and so obscene Like the fancy dancers of our dirty green Oh they knew hello and good bye but not what goes in between Yea and its such a scene on Saturday night Fifth avenue freaks strait off the racks They swear you can buy and sell your soul on a good dat outside Theyre the Hollywood kids each and everyone And on Sunday back into their holes they run And on Monday here I stand alone on this littered stage like an animal who Forgot he was in a cage Just a restless soul Just waiting for em to come Theyre Hollywood kids each and everyone

Marie, she comes to me in the twilight When the wind blows down across the river So cold, the fishermen cry She rapes me in a rage of rainbow violence Till my bare nerves, they sing Like the strings of a violin And the room seeps into a savage silence Soaked in colours, red as blood, blue as night And Marie she skins me alive Carves her initials in my side Lures me with her purrs and cuts me with her knife And the horses pound like thunder They bolt like lightning on her range She feels shes going under and she zeros in the rein Shes so strange Well, Marie, you know, shes the queen of all the stallions And Im her prince of mules And one of her principal fools Marie, shes got the claws of a falcon And shes perched on my shoulder, and slowly digging in But she, oh she can be so strange sometimes Like at night ... Or when the neighbors come to dine Marie, she skins me alive Burns her initials in my hide and then leaves me all alone Branded to the bone And my heart pounds like her horses Oh, stampeding on the range Marie knows all the sources And she shoots me with her pain And for her, I take it, Lord, down in my veins And I watch her dance like some berserk fairy All across the concrete prairies of Bleecker Street Marie, she can be so strangeBut shes the only lonely cowgirl on my range
