Darkness on the Edge of Town

This place is hardly the badlands
but something in the night
or in the dark fire of Candy's room
makes me feel like I can break free
from the factory and barrel down
streets of fire, racing in the streets
toward that darkness on the edge of town,
the summer heat rises up like sulky sin
and I push along;
I know out there somewhere
there's a promised land
where you can hold your baby tight,
love him right, and prove it all night.
