TOWN CALLED HEARTBREAK

Live 02 Oct 2007 version



Patti Scialfa:They say love
A love has its very own light
That can shine through the darkest night
That we've heard of
Bruce Springsteen:And that light
That you may want so much
Maybe you can never touch
Though you may try
Both:Now at night I dream
I'm all alone
Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone
Man swing the hammer
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

Patti Scialfa:Now Eve
She stood by Adam's side
Ah, somewhere in paradise
When the world was young
Bruce Springsteen:And their love
Oh, there love was so pure and sound
But it was cursed straight into the ground
That they walked on
Both:Now somewhere in every kiss
I still feel the blame
Like a dirty link
In a long dark chain
Man pull the chain
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak

Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:With me baby
Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:With me baby
Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:With me baby
Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:Oh, with me baby
Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:With me baby
Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:With me baby
Both:You gotta work
Patti Scialfa:With me baby, gotta work with me baby

Patti Scialfa:She says "man,
I've given you my flesh and blood
But that just wasn't good enough
You wanted my soul"
Bruce Springsteen:Now he says "girl, (oh na na na, na oh na na na)
No matter how hard I try (oh na na na, na oh na na na)
You just ain't ever satisfied (oh na na na, na oh na na na)
No no no" (oh na na na, na oh na na na)

Both:Now at night the same dream
I'm all alone
Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone
Man swing the hammer
World begin to shake
Patti Scialfa:I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
Bruce Springsteen:I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
Patti Scialfa:I'm just living in a town
Bruce Springsteen:I'm just living in a town
Patti Scialfa:I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
Bruce Springsteen:I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
Patti Scialfa:I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
