Streets of Fire

When the night's quiet and you don't care anymore,
And your eyes are tired and there's someone at your door
And you realize you wanna let go
And the weak lies and the cold walls you embrace
Eat at your insides and leave you face to face with
Streets of fire

I'm wandering, a loser down these tracks
I'm dying, but girl I can't go back
'Cause in the darkness I hear somebody call my name
And when you realize how they tricked you this time
And it's all lies but I'm strung out on the wire
In these streets of fire

I live now, only with strangers
I talk to only strangers
I walk with angels that have no place
Streets of fire

Só após uma longa batalha judicial entre o Boss e o seu manager e co-produtor Mike Appel, pelos direitos das vendas dos discos, na qual Springsteen sai vencedor, consegue editar "Darkness on the Edge of Town".
Três anos depois de "Born to Run", este é um albúm de excelentes canções, misto de desespero e raiva.
