FRANKIE^©

Studio Jun 1977 version

Caught dead on the run, out on Chelsea Road
Descending the stairs, Frankie my one
Check yourself out in the mirror, baby, come on honey, let's go
We're gonna move 'round this dirty town 'till the night is all gone
Tricks are all over with plenty of time
The dicks are all covered, straight down the line
There goes Frankie, she's not that kind
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Frankie just said ???
In the darkness they'll be hidden worlds that shine
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Hmmm
Walk with me tonight little angel
??? little girl
Talk to me tonight little angel
You make all my dream worlds come true

Walk with me tonight little angel
To the shadows where the lovers go
Talk to me tonight little angel
Whisper your secrets soft and low
Walk with me tonight little angel
To the shadows where the lovers go
Talk to me tonight little angel
Whisper your secrets
Hmmm
Walk with me tonight little angel
Into the shadows where the lovers go
Talk to me tonight little angel
Whisper your secrets so soft and low
Walk with me tonight little angel
Walk home with me tonight
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah

This version was recorded in Jun 1977 in Atlantic Studios, New York City, NY. It is much less popular and has less developed lyrics than the version recorded during the Born In The USA sessions. The highlight is a strong sax solo from Clarence at the conclusion. This version appears on The Definitive Darkness Outtakes Collection, The Lost Masters Vol. 2, and The Way bootlegs.
