Springsteen bulletproofs the cure (Cento) [208]

Springsteen bulletproofs the cure

         a cento

We couldn't get closer than this
And I ain't got nothing to say
The way we stalk, the way we kiss
I go to bed feeling the same way

This time, baby, I’ll be bulletproof

This gun's for hire
the grooviest thing, the perfect dream
You can't start a fire
Then curl up in the fire and sleep

This time, baby, I’ll be bulletproof

A cento. Lines snipped and used are in bold:

"Lovecats", The Cure:

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk, the way we talk
The way we stalk, the way we kiss

Then curl up in the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

La Roux, "Bulletproof":

This time, baby, I’ll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I’ll be bulletproof

Bruce Springsteen, "Dancing in the Dark":

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
