Two Hearts In True Waltz Time Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Two Hearts In True Waltz Time Lyrics

    Well the first frame finds her running
    But the night pushes her deep within the tunnel
    She camouflages herself in dayglo paint
    And she sings her love songs through a funnel
    And she clings to the walls like a cat who calls
    The shots for life and for death
    Wearing nothing but the make-up she uses
    To try and cover up for herself
    Well if she can't hide her sword
    She gives no terms for surrender
    'cause she's living the third world war

    The tunnel police, they steadily increase
    The search for where she hides her kid
    She swings on a vine across the state line
    They measured the length of her skid
    She never goes back to do something she didn't
    Or undo something she did
    Smoke streams from the street
    And the night is complete
    With a long and fiery belch
    She's just another orphan annie cartoon and a raquel welch

    She rides like caesar, brandishing a whip
    On the hood of his squad car
    As the siren wails she silently sails
    Leaving footprints in the tar
    Oh she breaks with the dawn
    And by morning she's gone
    Leaving nothing but another night
    She returns to her home
    Like a dog returns to a bone
    Another unsatisfied wife

    And there's little booth
    Secure from the truth
    He wants her more than he's got the guts to say
    'cause as she needs to be real
    He needs to conceal
    The realness of his place
    So he sings a little song
    And in a chiffon sarong
    She performs a black ballet in space
    But she's another flop with a fancy name
    And he's just another cop with a pretty face
    So together they commit the ultimate crime
    Two hearts locked in true waltz time
