Springsteen, Bruce - Jackson Cage Lyrics
Driving home she grabs something to eat
Turns a corner and drives down her street
Into a row of houses she just melts away
Like the scenery in another man's play
Into a house where the blinds are closed
She pulls the blinds and looks out on the street
The cool of the night takes the edge off the heat
In the Jackson Cage
Down in the Jackson Cage
You can try with all your might
But you're reminded every night
That you been judged and handed life
Down in the Jackson Cage
Just crossed swords on the killing floor
To settle back is to settle without knowing
The hard edge that you're settling for
Because there's always just one more day
And it's always gonna be that way
Little girl you've been down here so long
I can tell by the way that you move you belong to
The Jackson Cage
Down in Jackson Cage
And it don't matter just what you say
Are you tough enough to play the game they play
Or will you just do your time and fade away
Down into the Jackson Cage
Baby there's nights when I dream of a better world
But I wake up so downhearted girl
I see you feeling so tired and confused
I wonder what it's worth to me or you
Just waiting to see some sun
Never knowing if that day will ever come
Left alone standing out on the street
Till you become the hand that turns the key down in
Jackson Cage
Down in Jackson Cage
Well darlin' can you understand
The way that they will turn a man
Into a stranger to waste away
Down in the Jackson Cage

Seems like they are going to destroy their instruments with their passion. This song always kills me. Thanks for uploading, thanks Bruce.
'kin amazing
passion and fury!
Dinamite allo stato puro!!! 😀😀😅😍😘🎸🎶💎🎷💋🌟
Honest to God, has there ever been anyone else this good.
No, never
3 men have been turned into strangers
This is such an underrated performance. Holy shit.
You said it Man. Holy shit.
One of his best songs! It's about working and lower middle class people consumed with the family-work-family-work routine doing jobs that can be mind numbing and surroundings that seem the same to the point it's soul crushing. I saw it happen to people on Long Island, Brooklyn and even Southern California as a kid. It exists.
Al M. ...You bet it exists...all over the world !
I think that you both need to leave me alone, twin flame, soulmate or whatever.
One of my favourites from the River
underrated !!
❤ Brucie
Completely don't understand why they unfortunately deleted Little steven's harmony vocal at 2:40 till 2:53 (just waiting to see some sun...) Listen too the bootleg "Heart and soul" (same show). Still a great song!
A perfect example of how Bruce can take a very good, albeit not great, album track, and when he gets to it live, transforms it into a fucking emotional crucible.
"minor" masterpiece
Amor da minha vida! Cada dia mais apaixonada por você
I am so glad to be alive to hear this song.
The band at their peak.
Una delle mie preferite...!
I so enjoy watching theses.❤️🎸
Me too !
Thanks for uploading all these performances.
Superb from way back then - jeepers
Man, Bruce has always owned that stage and Steve looks sharp too
Everyone there - awesome to see all of these updates from the Boss
The professor, Roy Bittan, adds so much to it, too!
Thirty - eight years ago! Wow amazing
