running running running
still behind the leader.
fighting fighting fighting
can't knock down the fighter.
trying to be better
than the one that keeps me down
But he's always one step ahead
and I'm always on the ground.
the bastard's smarter and faster
and taunts me at every turn
While I sit here in my squalor
and watch my dreams slowly burn.
It's tough, you see, to make a dent,
to change who I am,
to be better than my idol,
to beat him at his game.
He constantly brings me down,
and reminds me of my place,
mocking me and laughing
as I try desperatly to save face.
It's hard to be that person
become a better man
When my opponent is myself
showing me who I am.

The Day I Woke Up As Bruce Springsteen
2005-05-19 05:08:26 ET

I woke up grey and groggy out on hangover beach
i was looking for my sandy but she was just out of my suicide reach
the ferris wheel rose up like a serpent in the summer sun sand
and i was begging for a piece of your spanish mercy or at least your velvet hand
well a cold fire came over my girded loins
i played pinball on the pier till i had 10 billion points
i went to the boardwalk and bought you a corndog
and cried cause i lost my beach tag

that was the day I woke up as bruce springsteen
to me it was a nightmare but to others it would've been a wet dream
i kissed the big man full on the lips
when i saw that tambourine smack his hips
I had a 4 hour concert to put on, but, i was exhausted and i had a four hour concert to put on, all i was wearing was my boots and my jeans
the day i woke up as bruce springsteen

I said this is no place for a nice girl from absecon
you said your parents rent a place down here almost every weekend
your jeans were a little too tight and your hair was a little too high and wild
you were my counter-culture-countess i was your rock'n'roll man-child
under the board walk you said that your name was sandy
as i kissed you i could still taste the cotton candy
don't be a cold fish, C'mon i'll win you a goldfish
or we'll go out to the south drag

that was the day I woke up as bruce springsteen
to me it was a nightmare but to others it would've been a wet dream
i kissed the big man full on the lips
when i saw that tambourine smack his hips
I had a 4 hour concert to put on, but, i was exhausted and i had a four hour concert to put on, all i was wearing was my boots and my jeans
the day i woke up as bruce springsteen


Sandy baby strap yourself into my steel embrace
there's some hungry homicide heroes grinding gears for a testosterone race
the whole town's lights turn green and glow off the hood of my '67 chevy
rubber burns and my heart yearns to hear you singin I love you, she's so heavy
my arms around you were slammed back in our seats
it's the end of the summer but my engine overheats
this is our chance sandy to make our island escape
do the death dance with me and we'll go of to the cape
you look and me and whisper how your heart aches
you look at me and smile and say don't hit the brakes
the flesh burns off our souls as we fly away to heaven
through the storefront window of a 7-11
they'll bury us in drapes and toe tags

that was the day I woke up as bruce springsteen
to me it was a nightmare but to others it would've been a wet dream
i kissed the big man full on the lips
when i saw that tambourine smack his hips
I had a 4 hour concert to put on, but, i was exhausted and i had a four hour concert to put on, all i was wearing was my boots and my jeans
the day i woke up as bruce springsteen

i ain't peaches i ain't cream
I ain't mr. springsteen
I ain't whiskey i ain't wine
i ain't mr. springstein

Never, My Love
2005-05-08 04:16:43 ET



You ask me if there'll come a time
when I'll grow tired of you;
never my love,
never my love.

You wonder if this heart of mine
will lose its desire for you;
never my love,
never my love.

What makes you think love will end
when you know that my whole life
depends on you?

You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you,
Never my love,
never my love.

How can you think love will end
when I've asked you to spend your
whole life with me?

"California"
2005-05-06 02:37:12 ET


We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin' of the roar
Gotta get us to the shore
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!
