April 6th - Irrational Fears

Ten of Clubs - Irrational fears
7 - Bruce Springsteen song


(Don't Be) Afraid of the Night

On the streets the boys work all day dying for a piece of the American dream
And at night they escape while you lie here crying too scared to even scream
At the first sign of darkness
You run to your home
But you're young Alice
You should be out on the road
Oooh
Don't waste your summer
Don't run back inside
My engines are roaring
And my tires slide
I've sprung from the gates
Alice break free for once baby
Don't be afraid of the night
No Alice
Don't be afraid of the night


(spoken) Leave those fears behind girl


You kneel and pray by your bedroom window for a way to end your gloom
Somewhere out in the distance there's a radio playing some Jerry Lee Lewis tune (cue piano fill)
Well look out that window
I'm parked in your drive
So come out from your castle
Alice come for a ride
Ooooh
The sun's going down
but we don't need to hide
We can ditch New Brunswick
We can leave all these losers behind
Tearing out of town
Life's hard on the outside but
We'll make it through tonight
Yeah baby
We'll make it through tonight


(spoken) Come ride with me baby


(horn break)


I'm just a lonely rider in my old Cheverolet
with a beat up chassy but I'm still packing some horsepower
Running red lights tryin' to get out of this town
Girl I'll do anything to make you come around
With you sitting on the passenger side
We can go, we can run
We can drive anywhere you like
But if we both end up in Atlantic City tonight
You can bet baby
You can bet that we're alive


(max weinberg: “1...2...3...4”)


Angels are with us on the turnpike tonight making sure we stayin' free
By exit 13 your whole life's disappeared and girl it's just you and me
We roar through the Holland
We're crossing state lines
Flick'ring lights in the tunnel
you tell me you're mine
Ooooh
Now were out in the city
We're down on the streets
We're running for our lives
And we'll be running all night
For Redemption Avenue's long
The sun may be gone girl but
Don't be afraid of the night
No baby
Don't be afraid of the night
Together we can do it
Don't be afraid of the night
(spoken) We'll live forever Alice
Don't be afraid of the night
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Don't be afraid of the night
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
