4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) lyrics
by Bruce Springsteen
Sandy the fireworks are hailin over Little Eden tonight
Forcin a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July
Down in the town the circuit's full of 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 on the shore
Chasin all them silly New York virgins by the score
Sandy the aurora is risin behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl, now now baby
Now the greasers oh they tramp the streets
Or get busted for sleepin on the beach all night
Them boys in their 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 all 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 it kept me spinnin, they didn't think I'd ever get off
Oh Sandy, the aurora is risin behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life on the water
Runnin, laughin underneath the boardwalk, oh with the boss's daughter
I remember, Sandy girl, now, now, now, now, now baby
Sandy, that waitress I was seein lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night,
She said she won't set herself on fire for me anymore
She worked that joint under the boardwalk,
She was always the girl you saw boppin down the beach with the radio
The kids say last night she was dressed like a star
In one of them cheap little seaside bars
And I saw her parked with her lover-boy out on the Kokomo
Did you hear, the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For tellin fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life's thru, babe
You oughta quit this scene too
Sandy, the aurora is risin behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
Oh, I mean it, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my, my baby
Yeah I promise Sandy girl, sha la la la la baby
