[Intro]
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Whoa, she's an angel from the Inner lake
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Whoa, she's an angel from the Inner lake
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Whoa, she's an angel from the Inner lake
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Whoa, she's an angel from the Inner lake

[Verse]
Thundercrack, baby's back
This time, she'll tell me how she really feels
Bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reelin'

[Chorus]
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor, there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina

[Verse]
She's straight from the Bronx, hung off a line
She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Even them dance hall hacks from the west side of the tracks
Move in close to catch her timin'

[Chorus]
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor, there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina

[Bridge]
She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round

[Verse]
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner, till the dawn
Baby, all night long

[Verse]
Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
Bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reelin'

[Chorus]
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor, there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina

[Bridge]
She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round

[Verse]
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner, all night

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.
