Candy's Room
Written by - Bruce Springsteen
From - Darkness On the Edge Of Town
In Candy's room there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room
You gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys
When I come knocking she smiles pretty
She knows I wanna be Candy's boy
There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe
We kiss, my heart's pumpin' to my brain

The blood rushes in my veins
Fire rushes towards the sky
We go driving, driving deep into the night
I go driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes
She says, 'Baby if you wanna be wild
You got a lot to learn
Close your eyes
Let them melt let them fire let them burn
'Cause in the darkness there'll be hidden worlds that shine'
When I hold Candy close she makes these hidden worlds mine

She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
She has men who'll give her anything she wants
But they don't see that what she wants is me
Oh and I want her so
I'll never let her go, no no no
She knows that I'd give all that I got to live
All that I want, all that I live, to make Candy mine
Tonight
