Bruce Springsteen - Fourth Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) lyrics

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 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... my baby Now the greasers, 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 promised 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 Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us Those pier lights, our carnival life on the water Runnin', laughin' underneath the boardwalk with the boss's daughter I remember, Sandy girl... my baby Sandy, the 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 Kids say last night she was dressed like a star in one of the 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 carnival life's through-- you ought to 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 baby Yeah, I promise Sandy girl, sha-la baby
