Bruce Springsteen - Something In The Night Lyrics






I'm riding down Kingsley,
figuring I'll get a drink
Turn the radio up loud,
so I don't have to think,
I take her to the floor,
looking for a moment when the world seems right,
And I tear into the guts,
of something in the night.

You're born with nothing,
and better off that way,
Soon as you've got something they send
someone to try and take it away,
You can ride this road 'till dawn,
without another human being in sight,
Just kids wasted on
something in the night.

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
when it's your last time around,
I got stuff running 'round my head
That I just can't live down.

When we found the things we loved,
They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
We tried to pick up the pieces,
And get away without getting hurt,
But they caught us at the state line,
And burned our cars in one last fight,
And left us running burned and blind,
Chasing something in the night.

  1. E.... A....

    Tal vez nunca lo leas..
    Pero debes saber q se abrió nuevamente algo dentro mío....estos días..
    No se q es...
    Te pienso mucho..
    Tengo esa eterna carga dentro y tu lo sabes ...
    Tus labios son eso que sólo tu y yo lo sabemos..
    Aunque hayas estado en otros brazos debes saber lo que te he dicho desde q nos conocimos..

    😘😘😘

  10. 1.... ....

    Talk about intensity.

  11. A.... L....

    One of my favorite songs — Freaking Bruce.

  12. R.... ....

    Rolling Stones didn't rank this among Bruce's Top 100 songs... that list might need some editing.

  13. a.... d....

    Una grandissima interpretazione!!Bruce come sempre emozionante!! !☺️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👏👏😘😘😘💔💔💔💗💗🤩💋

  14. J.... M....

    JJJJJJ GGG

    This is MY song.

    L.... M....

    The Best

  19. R.... H....

    For all of you Alpha Males out there.......this our theme song.

  20. a.... c....

    I remember the first time coming across Darkness and putting the whole album in repeat over and over
    melodies stunningly created and each song, sounding like poem, were something I never had listened before
    in my opinion, Darkness has more great songs in the tracklist than any other boss' releases

  21. a.... d....

    La grinta di un leone!!grande Bruce ! Sei unico !!😘😘😘😍💎♥️♥️♥️

  22. J.... B....

    "You're born with nothin' and better off that way/As soon as you got somethin' they send someone to try and take it away"

    Fuck Shakespeare. Bruce is the true poet of the people. I mean Jesus Christ, that is such a great line, and he buries it in a deep album track that most people have never heard, but it doesn't matter because he has other great lyrics for his hits. Bruce is a National Treasure. Actually, to hell with that, given how many fans I've talked to all over the world, Bruce in an International Treasure

  23. U.... R....

    Such an underrated song, gives me an out of body experience

  24. M.... R....

    ESPECTACULAR!!!!!HAGA LO QUE HAGA.....

  25. G.... S....

    I can't help thinking that a part of him must have been deeply unhappy to write songs like these.

  26. V.... A....

    How does he even live with his own brilliance. WHOA.

  27. l.... ....

    If you can’t relate to this man then I’m guessing you stayed home with mommy helping her make dresses

  28. D.... C....

    I started listening to Springsteen @ the age of 10 in 1973 and I’ve only gotten to see him once live in the nose bleed section and after 4 hours of nonstop performing just being there was incredible. Someday I hope to get closer to the stage. Something always seemed to happen while making plans to
    go.. someday though........!

  29. p.... p....

    This is a song that truly rips the skin off your back.

  30. L.... R....

    Soft summer nights spent looking for redemption, riding that road until dawn.....Perhaps it is found at 4,500 RPM in third gear on an empty two lane ........

  31. V.... B....

    Bruce é inspiração 💕💕💕

  32. T.... H....

    Fantastic version!

  33. V.... B....

    Deve ser um ser humano maravilhoso 💎 só largam ele com a morte, não vê Clarence 🎷😥🎸🎤🎹 todos eles são monstros

  34. I.... A....

    Am I the only one who thinks that this is one of his best ever performances of Something in The Night? Love it

    I.... A....

    Love it

    I.... A....

    I agree one of the best

    I.... A....

    Isabel Alonso - Bartol Sánchez ........no words

    I.... A....

    It's on a different level.

  35. J.... H....

    "We're all just kids
    Wasted on something in the night"

    J.... H....

    So true right?😎

  36. G.... H....

    Sometimes I don't think Bruce knows just how great He is. God Bless Bruce. He is the Boss.

  37. T.... S....

    Wow. Still got it. And such an almost unbearably moving song.

  38. S.... ....

    Growing up in Philly, we usually went to the So. Jersey shore destinations... My first time ever in Asbury Park, I was on my bike waiting for the light to change... My foot was banging and I was singing, “Riding Down Kingsley...” Never knowing that I was actually riding down Kingsley... What great memory for me!!! But the real reason I’m commenting is to say, if you work for a living, if you’re hands and clothes get dirty, Darkness On The Edge Of Town, is the greatest album ever written!!!!

  39. m.... _....

    This actually brought tears to my eyes holy shit

  40. M.... N....

    Fantastic!!!!😍😍

  41. E.... A....

    Un trovador enviado de Dios...para sanar corazones rotos..

  42. E.... A....

    Las cosas que siento en esta canción con su poderosa letra y esa batería atrás diciendo dale Bruce ....
    Increíble me pone muy arriba...
    Me da paz y energía

  43. M.... T....

    This whole album is unfuckwithable. Absolute genius

  44. s.... w....

    fantastic edit..LOVE these boys Thanks a lot

  45. F.... A....

    Eu fico imaginando esse homem lindo com essa voz maravilhosa se declarando p mim.kkkk

  46. F.... A....

    Essa voz rouca é tudo de booooom.

  47. C.... C....

    This song is so beautiful I listen to it everyday

  48. M.... O....

    THE GREAT AMERICAN JUKEBOX .

  49. B.... S....

  50. M.... R....

    il cantante americano che ora prediligo.

  51. E.... A....

    La muerda Bruce...escucho este tema todas las noches y da paz a mi alma....muchas gracias...
    Increíble lo q me genera...
    Max Weinberg es como que lo aplasta con la batería y le exsigue más.. .y mas

  52. R.... ....

    I'm riding down Kingsley,
    Figuring I'll get a drink
    Turn the radio up loud,
    So I don't have to think,
    I take her to the floor,
    Looking for a moment when the world
    Seems right,
    And I tear into the guts,
    Of something in the night.
    You're born with nothing,
    And better off that way,
    Soon as you've got something they send
    Someone to try and take it away,
    You can ride this road 'till dawn,
    Without another human being in sight,
    Just kids wasted on
    Something in the night.

    Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
    When it's your last time around,
    I got stuff running around 'round my head
    That I just can't live down

    When we found the things we loved,
    They were crushed and dying in the dirt.

    And burned our cars in one last fight,
    And left us running burned and blind,
    Chasing something in the night.

  53. B.... C....

    Such a powerfull song. I remember since the first time. Bruce said he over sang it on Darkness. But I never got that. It was perfect.

  54. L.... V....

    Love this without the rasp in his voice.

  55. C.... M....

    The piano and drums introduction, those lyrics ("looking for a moment when the world seems right"), the intense wailing reflecting the pain of the character in this song, the look on Bruce's face as the video fades out. For me, it's the greatest performance of one of his most underrated songs.

  56. M.... B....

    💞🔊🎶🎵🎸👏👏👏👏

  57. R.... F....

    Espetacular!!!!! Lindo!!!!! Maravilhoso! !!!

  58. r.... j....

    One of the many reasons why “Darkness” is Bruce’s samurai record - absolute perfection....from badlands to darkness on the edge of town....

    r.... j....

    Very true words, such a powerful album from start to finish

  59. E.... H....

    The best....nj rocks

  60. m.... m....

    GUAYYYY.
    GRACIAS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
    TU MÚSICA ME HACE MUY FELIZ. !!!

  61. r.... ....

    I feel like Clarence is thinking, god damn Bruce is singing the shit out of this tonight!

  62. G.... T....

    The depth of soul placed in in this song, and most every song of his, pushes the meaning(s) so far into reality I can't help but to feel his words in MY reality. Almost every song of his parallels moments and times in my life and thus his music has been like a friend, one having gone through similar trials and tribulations, beautiful and energetic triumphs. For these reasons and many others, like his (their) ability to maintain integrity in a realm of which such is near to impossible, Bruce Springsteen & the E. Street Band are hands-down my favorite artists! Thank you Bruce Springsteen & The E. Street Band!

  63. J.... H....

  64. T.... D....

    Perfection

  65. K.... Z....

    عالی هستی
    IRAN

  66. M.... H....

    I feel his pain

  67. W.... C....

    For years now, you are one of my favourite singers and this song Woh! I listen to it every day. It’s beautiful Bruce. Don’t ever stop singing😘

  68. K.... B....

    I've got stuff running round my head that I just can't live down.....

    K.... B....

    I could relate to this in 1980 as a 14 who had been a victim the two years prior of sexual molestation at the hands of an older, "friend of the family" and from 4-9 as a victim of child abuse. (Lot of shit happened to me).

    Now at 51 and life has had soooooo many crazy ups and downs for me throughout, almost non-fucking stop, without ever a break for too very long. ...

    I hear that line and I wanna scream into the great beyond.... Into the California night sky....into something in the night ......

  69. E.... S....

    Que suerte estar rodeado de la banda y ellos acompañar a Bruce.

  70. d.... p....
