STREETS OF FIRE

Album's version

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 the cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and leave you face to face with
Streets of fire

I'm wandering, a loser down these tracks
I'm dying, but girl 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 streets of fire

I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
Streets of fire

Published on Darkness On The Edge Of Town. Unfortunately, this song was not played all that regularly while on the Darkness On The Edge Of Town tour. It is a very underrated song. A slightly different-lyrics outtake version also exists.

Was a B-side to both BADLANDS and THE PROMISED LAND in 1979.
