Live 05 Jul 1978 version
[Spoken intro:] This is for my man right down here. These guys too.
[Piano intro]
Take me now baby here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Break my back until the morning come
Well come on now try to hear my plea
I work all day pushing for the man
Daylight's gone, take me under your cover
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
What I got I have earned
What I'm not baby I have learned
Love is an angel disguised as lust
In my bed till the morning comes
Well come on now try and understand
I work all day pushing for the man
When daylight's gone just take me under your covers
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Our love it seeds with doubt
The vicious circle turns and burns without
You know I cannot live, forgive me now
Because the time has come, just take it now
They can't hurt us now
They can't hurt us now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night
[Guitar solo]
One, two, three!
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to, say!
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lovers
The above lyrics are for the live 05 Jul 1978 performance of BECAUSE THE NIGHT at The Forum in Inglewood, CA, during the Darkness On The Edge Of Town Tour.
This show was filmed in part by KABC TV and there is also some silent super-8 footage that shows Springsteen playing a Fender Stratocaster instead of the usual Telecaster. An interview with Springsteen was carried out backstage after the show by reporter J. J. Jackson for Eye Witness News. Ten minutes of this interview were broadcast on 07 Jul 1978.
