Note: Co-written by Springsteen (lyrics) and Roy Bittan (music). Recorded in December 1989 at Soundworks West, Los Angeles. Springsteen handles guitar and vocals and his three-man backing band on this recording is Randy Jackson (bass), Roy Bittan (keyboards), and Jeff Porcaro (drums). The background vocals are by Sam Moore, who was called into the studio in January 1990 to overdub onto an already completed basic recording. V1a is a very different mix than the album version, with Sam Moore's vocals cutting in sooner and more prominent throughout.
Studio Sessions: Human Touch
Real World |
Hey yeah
Nana nana nanana
Mister Trouble come walking this way
Year gone by feels like one long day but I'm alive
And I'm feeling all right
Well I run that hard road outta heartbreak city
Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and self-pity
It was all wrong, well now I'm moving on
Ain't no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the love we're bringing yeah into the real world
Into the real world
Oh, oh oh
I built a shrine in my heart it wasn't pretty to see
Made out of fool's gold memory and tears cried
Now I'm heading over the rise
I'm searching for one clear moment of love and truth
I still got a little faith but what I need is some proof tonight
I'm looking for it in your eyes
Ain't no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the faith we're bringing here into the real world
Here into the real world
Oh, oh oh yeah
Well tonight well I just wanna shout
Feel my soul waist deep and sinking into this black river of doubt
And I, well I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
When the morning comes baby I don't wanna hide
I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide
Hey yeah yeah
Whoa whoa
Hoo hoo
Well tonight well I just wanna shout
I feel my soul waist deep and sinking into this black river of doubt
And I, well I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
'Til the morning comes
Well I'll stand right by your side
Oh I wanna find some answers, I wanna ask for some help
I'm tired of running scared, baby now let's get our bags packed
We'll take it here to hell and heaven and back
And if love is hopeless hopeless at best
Come on put on your party dress
It's ours tonight, we're going with the tumbling dice
Ain't no church bells ringing, ain't no flags unfurled
Oh it's just me and you and the hope we're bringing into the real world
Well into the real world
Oh into the real world
Hold on now!
Bring it up!
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby
Oh na na
Whoa whoa whoa
