Bruce Springsteen - Frankie lyrics

Dark weekends in the sun out on Chelsea Road
Descending the stairs, Frankie, my one
Check your makeup in the mirror, c'mon babe
Let's go
We'll dance round this dirty town till
The night is all done
Let all the finer things sleep alone tonight
Let all the minor kings
Lose their thrones tonight
Don't worry about us, baby, we'll be alright

Well everybody's dying
This town's closing down
They're all sittin' down at
The courthouse waiting
For 'em to take the flag down
I see strange flashes in the sky up above
Gonna spend the night at the drive-in
With the one that I love
At dusk, the stars all appear on the screen
Yeah, just like they do each
Night in my dreams
But tonight's no dream, Frankie
I can feel myself too
Well now and forever, babe
My love is for you

Walk softly tonight, little stranger
Yeah into these shadows we're passing through
Talk softly tonight, little angel
You make all my dream worlds come true

Well lately I've been standing out
In the freezing rain
Readin' them want ads out on Chelsea Road
I'm winging down the street in
Search of new games
Hustling through these nightlights'
Diamond glow well Frankie
I don't know what I'm gonna find
Maybe nothing at all
Maybe a world I can call mine
Shining like these streetlights down
Here on the strand
Bright as the rain in the palm of your hand

Walk softly tonight, little stranger
Into the shadows where lovers go
Talk softly to me, little angel
Whisper your secrets, so soft and low
