[00:03.331] Written by Bruce Springsteen
[00:13.309] Well, they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night
[00:18.612] And they blew up his house, too
[00:23.157] Down on the boardwalk they're ready for a fight
[00:27.755] Gonna see what them racket boys can do
[00:33.084] Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
[00:37.551] And the D.A. can't get no relief
[00:42.984] Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
[00:47.530] And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth
[00:52.597] Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
[00:57.482] But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
[01:02.028] Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
[01:07.252] And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[01:12.555] ...
[01:22.560] Well, I got a job and I put my money away
[01:26.922] But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay
[01:31.494] So I drew out what I had from the Central Trust
[01:36.483] And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
[01:41.812] Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
[01:46.540] But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
[01:50.903] Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
[01:56.310] And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[02:01.117] ...
[02:10.495] Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
[02:15.380] But with you forever I'll stay
[02:20.291] We'll be goin' out where the sand turns to gold
[02:24.836] But put your stockings on, 'cause it might get cold
[02:30.060] Oh, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
[02:35.050] But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
[02:39.464] Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
[02:44.663] And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[02:49.783] ...
[03:08.486] Now I've been a-lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
[03:13.868] There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line
[03:18.465] Well, I'm tired of gettin' caught out on the losin' end
[03:23.455] But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
[03:28.705] Well, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
[03:33.433] But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
[03:38.162] Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
[03:43.125] And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[03:47.670] Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[03:52.424] Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[03:57.832] ...
