Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight |
|
Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this Fourth of July |
|
Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp |
|
And 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 shore |
|
Chasin' all them silly New York girls |
|
|
|
Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us |
|
The pier lights our carnival life forever |
|
Love me tonight for I may never see you again |
|
Hey 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 our 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 do |
|
This boardwalk life for me is through |
|
You know you ought to quit this scene too |
|
|
|
Sandy the aurora's rising behind us, the pier lights our carnival life forever |
|
Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever |
