[Verse 1]
White roses and misty blue eyes
Red mornin's and nothing but grey skies
A cup of coffee, your heart shot clean through
Jacket you bought me gone daisy grey-blue
You're smiling now, but you'll find out
They'll use you up and spit you out now
Your head's spinning in diamonds and clouds
But pretty soon it turns out

[Chorus]
You'll be coming down now, baby
You'll be coming down
What goes around, it comes around and
You'll be coming down

[Verse 2]
Easy street, a quick buck, and true lies
Smiles as thin as those dusky blue skies
A silver plate of pearls, my golden child
It's all yours, at least for a little while
You'll be fine long as your pretty face holds out
Then it's going to get pretty cold out
An endless stream of stars shooting by
You got your hopes on high

[Chorus]
You'll be coming down now, baby
You'll be coming down
What goes around, it comes around and
You'll be coming down

[Bridge]
For a while you'll go sparkling by
Just another pretty thing on high...

[Sax solo]

[Verse 3]
Like a thief on Sunday morning
It all falls apart with no warning
Satin sky's gone candy-apple green
The crushed metal of your little flying machine

[Chorus]
You'll be coming down now, baby
You'll be coming down
What goes around, it comes around and
You'll be coming down
You'll be coming down now, baby
You'll be coming down
What goes around, it comes around and
You'll be coming down

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
