Bruce Springsteen - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) Lyrics

[Verse 1]Sandy, the fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonightForcing a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm JulyDown in the town, the Circuit's full of switchblade lovers, so fast, so shiny, so sharpAs the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past darkAnd the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers on the shoreChasing all them silly New York virgins by the score[Chorus]And Sandy, the aurora is rising behind usThis pier lights our carnival life foreverOh, love me tonight, for I may never see you againHey, Sandy girlMy, my, baby[Verse 2]Now, the greasers, ah, they tramp the streetsOr get busted for sleeping on the beach all nightThem boys in their high heels, ah, SandyTheir skins are so whiteAnd me, I just got tired of hanging in them dusty arcades, banging them pleasure machinesChasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalkWhere they all promise to unsnap their jeansAnd you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach dragI got on it last night and my shirt got caughtAnd they kept me spinning, babe, didn't think I'd ever get off[Chorus]Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind usThis pier lights our carnival life on the waterRunning, laughing 'neath the boardwalkAh, with the boss' daughterI remember, Sandy, girlNa, na, na, na, na, baby[Verse 3]Sandy, that waitress I was seeing lost her desire for meI spoke with her last night, she said she won't set herself on fire for me anymoreShe worked that joint under the boardwalkShe was always the girl you saw bopping down the beach with the radioThe kids say last night she was dressed like a starIn one of them cheap little seaside barsAnd I saw her parked with lover boy out on the KokomoDid you hear the cops finally busted Madame MarieFor tellin' fortunes better than they doFor me this boardwalk life's through, babeYou ought to quit this scene, too[Chorus]Sandy, the aurora is rising behind usThis pier lights our carnival life foreverOh, love me tonight and I promise I'll love you foreverOh, I mean it, Sandy, girlMy, my, my, my, my babyYeah, I promise, Sandy, girlSha, la, la, la, la, baby
