STREETS OF PHILIDELPHIA

I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia 
I walked the avenue 'till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia 
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
My clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin 
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia 



COVER ME 

The times are tough now, just getting tougher
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher
Cover me, come on baby, cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Promise me baby you won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us
Cover me, shut the door and cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more

This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough I don't want to see any more,
Cover me, come on and cover me
I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me


DANCING IN THE DARK

I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say 
I come home in the morning 
I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired 
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself 
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire 
You can't start a fire without a spark 
This gun's for hire 
even if we're just dancing in the dark 

Message keeps getting clearer 
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place 
I check my look in the mirror 
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face 
Man I ain't getting nowhere 
I'm just living in a dump like this 
There's something happening somewhere 
baby I just know that there is 

You can't start a fire 
you can't start a fire without a spark 
This gun's for hire 
even if we're just dancing in the dark 

You sit around getting older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me 
I'll shake this world off my shoulderscome on baby this laugh's on me 
Stay on the streets of this townand they'll be carving you up alright 
They say you gotta stay hungry 
hey baby I'm just about starving tonight 
I'm dying for some action 
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this bookI need a love reaction 
come on now baby gimme just one look 

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart 
This gun's for hire 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart 
This gun's for hire 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 
Even if we're just dancing in the dark 
Hey baby,
