incident on 57th street - bruce springsteen

Spanish johnny drove in from the underworld

last night with bruised arms and broken rhythm

and a beat-up old buick but dressed just like dynamite

He tried sellin his heart to the hard girls over on easy street,

But they said, johnny

it falls apart so easy

and you know hearts these days are cheap.

And the pimps swung their axes and said

johnny, youre a cheater.

Well, the pimps swung their axes and said

johnny, youre a liar.

And from out of the shadows cam e a young girls voice

said: johnny dont cry.

Puerto rican jane, oh wont you tell me whats your name.

I want to drive you down to the other side of town

where paradise aint so crowded and therell

be action goin down on shanty lane tonight

All the golden heeled fairies in a real bitch-fight pull thirty-eights

and kiss their girls goodnight.

Goodnight, its alright, jane

Now let them black boys in to light the soul flame,

We may find it out on the street tonight, baby,

Or we may walk until the daylight, maybe.

Well, like a cool romeo he made his moves

oh she looked so fine

Like a late juliet she knew shed never be true

but then she really didnt mind

Upstairs a band was playin and the singer was singin

something about going home

She whispered, spanish johnny

you can leave me tonight

but just dont leave me alone.

And johnny cried, puerto rican jane

word is down the cops have found the vein.

Them bare foot boys left their homes for the woods

Them little barefoot street boys

they said their homes aint no good,

They left the corners, threw away

their switchblade knives and kissed each other goodbye.

Johnny was sittin on the fire escape watchin

the kids playin down the

Street,

He called down, hey little heroes, summers long

but I guess it aint very sweet around here anymore,

Janey sleeps in sheets damp with sweat

johnny sits up alone and watches her dream on, dream on,

And the sister prays for lost souls

then breaks down in the chapel after everyones gone.

Jane moves over to share her pillow but opens

her eyes to see johnny up and putting his clothes on,

She says, those romantic young boys

all they ever want to do is fight

Those romantic young boys, theyre callin through the window

Hey, spanish johnny, you want to make a little easy money tonight

And johnny whispered, goodnight, its all tight jane

Ill meet you tomorrow night on lovers lane

We may find it out on the street tonight now baby

Or we may walk until the daylight, baby

Goodnight, its alright jane

Im gonna meet you tomorrow night on lovers lane

We can find it out on the street tonight, baby

Or we may walk until its daylight, maybe
