Bruce springsteen Quote by Stephen King
““Outside the street’s on fire In a real death waltz Between what’s flesh and fantasy And the poets down here Don’t write nothin at all They just stand back and let it all be And in the quick of the night They reach for their moment And try to make an honest stand But they wind up wounded Not even dead Tonight in Jungle Land. —Bruce Springsteen””
