Bruce Springsteen Hollow Man

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi]
What do you sing when the song’s been sung?
Who do you fight when the war is won?
What do you write when the book is done?
What do you sing when the song’s been sung?

[Verse 2: Bruce Springsteen]
How do you pray ’til you find your prayer?
How can you care so much you just don’t care?
How do you feel ’til the feelin’ comes?
'Til you love yourself, how can you love someone?

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi]
Here I am, a hollow man
Telling stories ’bout the promise of a promised land
Feel like a cheap bouquet of flowers and a one-man band
With my heart in hand, the hollow man

[Verse 3: Bruce Springsteen]
How does it work when the words don’t come?
It’s like pullin’ the trigger on an empty gun
You can’t make it rain starin’ at the sun
So you work at your work ’til the work gets done

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Bruce Springsteen]
Here I am, a hollow man
Tellin’ stories ’bout the promise of a promised land
Feel like a holy roller’s rosary on a one-night stand
With my heart in hand, the hollow man

[Bridge: Jon Bon Jovi & Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi]
I’m a blank page, clean slate
At night, I’ll give my soul away
When nothin’s left, I’ll give you a smile
I got these chords that won’t wait
I’m much too vain to masturbate
No sacrificin’ substance for style
Aw, anyway, ha, I got you to smile

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4: Jon Bon Jovi & Bruce Springsteen]
What do you see that your eyes don’t see?
And what do you dream now that you sold your dreams?
What do you sing when the song’s been sung?
What do you sing when the song’s been sung?

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Bruce Springsteen]
Here I am, the hollow man
Sellin’ stories ’bout the promise of a promised land
I feel like a cheap bouquet of flowers and a one-man band
I’m just a holy roller’s rosary on a one-night stand
With my heart in hand
I am the hollow man
