Springsteen, Bruce - Devil's Arcade Lyrics
Remember the morning we dug up your gun
The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
The cool desert morning and nothing to save
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James
[Instrumental]
Voice says "don't worry, I'm here
Just whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"
House on a quiet street, a home for the brave
A glorious kingdom with the sun on your face
Rising from a long night as dark as the grave
On a thin chain of next moments and something like faith
On a morning to order a breakfast to make
A bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits
For the touch of your fingers, the end of the day
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
The beat of your heart, the slow burning away
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade

Springsteen, Bruce Devil's Arcade Comments
Questa canzone e molto toccante!!!😢😢😕😇😍😘🎸🎷🎶💎🌲💫
The violins at 0:30 remind one of the soundtrack of the movie "Joker" - and his Devil's Arcade.
This is a fantastic song that, like the rest of the album, is as badly recorded and mixed as anything Springsteen has ever done. My God, it's sludge!
Unbelievable storyteller beautiful song this man is a master
Incredible..
Brilliant
top tune, the quit loud format at its best, top thoughtful lyric, doesn't everyone get touched by the bitter fires of the devil's arcade sooner or later?
What does the "Devil's Arcade" mean to you?
tragoudaraaaaaa
my favorite Bruce Song.. hits my soul to the Core..
Stone masterpiece
the Boss has written lyrics along with the greatest of all time. This Vet that comes home with devastating loss of limbs and his wife tries to bring him home completely. The true wages of war. We are just pawns in rich, powerful, men's games.
Is that what the song is about?
This is like a pray
one of the boss's best, underrated!
amazing tone
