"Born To Run," that expands every time we go out. It just seems to you - more of your life fills it in, fills in the story. And when we hit it every night, it's always a huge catharsis. It's fascinating to see the audience singing it back to me. It's quite wonderful, you know, to see people that intensely singing your song.

Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have.

The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.

Badlands, you got to live it everyday, let the broken hearts stand as the price you've got to pay.

Dancing in the dark. Does fortune wait or just the black hand of fate, It'll take your God filled soul. Fill it with devils.

That's what being a front man is all about - the idea of having something supple underneath you, that machine that roars and can turn on a dime.

The hungry and the haunted explode in a rock'n'roll band.
