4th Of July, Asbury Park lyrics

Sandy the fireworks are hailin over Little Eden tonight
Forcin a light into all those stoned-out faces left
stranded on this forth of July
Down in town the circuit s full with switchblade lovers
so fast so shiny so sharp
As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
like Latin lovers along the shoreChasin all them silly girls
Sandy the aurora is risin beh ind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you againHey Sandy girl
Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for
trying to sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins are so white
And me I just got tired of hangin in them dusty arcades
bangin them pleasure machines
Chasin the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where
they promise to unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And that Joey kept me spinnin I didn t think I d ever get off
Oh Sandy the aurora is risin behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Runnin down the beach at night with my boss s daughter
Well he ain t my boss no more Sandy
Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us
I spoke to em just last night and they said they won t
set themselves on fire for us anymore
Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road
down from heaven on their Harleys they come and they go
And you can see em dressed like stars in all the cheap
little seashore bars parked making love with their
babies out on the Kokomo
Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin
fortunes better than they doThis boardwalk life for me is through
You kmow you ought to quit this scene tooSandy the aurora s rising behind us
The pier lights out carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight and I promise I ll love you forever
