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
