Real World

[Intro: Bruce Springsteen & Sam Moore]

Aye, ye-eeh-e-ah

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na

[Verse 1: Bruce Springsteen]

Mister trouble come walkin' this way

Year gone past feels like one long day, but I'm alive

And I'm feelin' all right

Well, I run that hard road outta Heartbreak City. Built a

Roadside carnival out of hurt and self-pity, it was all wrong

Well, now, I'm movin' on

[Chorus: Bruce Springsteen]

Ain't no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled

Just me and you and the love we're bringing into the real world

Into the real world

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

[Verse 2: Bruce Springsteen]

I built a shrine in my heart, it wasn't pretty to see

Made out of fool's gold, memory, and tears cried

Now, I'm heading over the rise

I'm searching for one clear moment of love and truth

I still got a little faith, but what I need is some proof tonight

I'm lookin' for it in your eyes

[Chorus: Bruce Springsteen & Sam Moore]

Ain't no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled

Just me and you and the love we're bringing into the real world

Well, into the real world

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, yeah

[Bridge 1]

Well, tonight, yeah, I just wanna shout

I feel my soul waist-deep and sinking into this black river of doubt

I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside

And when the morning comes

Baby, I don't wanna hide

I'll stand right at your side

With my arms open wide

[Bridge 2]

Well, tonight I just wanna shout

I feel my soul waist-deep and sinking into this black river of doubt

I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside

Till the morning comes, I'll stand right by your side

[Verse 3: Bruce Springsteen, Sam Moore]

I wanna find some answers, I wanna ask for some help (Oh, yeah)

I'm tired or running scared, baby, let's get our bags packed

We'll take it here to hell and heaven and back

And if love is hopeless, hopeless at best

Come on, put on your party dress

It's ours tonight and we're going with the tumblin' dice

[Chorus]

Ain't no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled

Just me and you and the love we're bringing into the real world

Into the real world

Oh, into the real world
