Bruce Springsteen - 4th Of July, Asbury Park 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



Oh, Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us

This pier lights, our carnival life forever

Oh, love me tonight for I may never see you again

Hey, Sandy girl

My, my baby



Now, the greasers, ah, 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 ya know, that Tilt-a-Whirl down on the south beach drag

I got on it last night and my shirt got caught

And they kept me spinnin', babe

They didn't think I'd ever get off



Oh, Sandy the aurora is rising behind us

Those pier lights, our carnival life on the water

Runnin', laughin’, ‘neath the boardwalk, ah, with the boss's daughter

I remember Sandy girl

Na, na, na, na, na, 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 Loverboy out on the Kokomo



Did ya hear, the cops finally busted Madam Marie

For tellin’ fortunes better than they do

For me this boardwalk life’s through, babe

Ya oughta quit this scene too



Sandy, the aurora's rising behind us

This 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 baby

Yeah, promise Sandy, girl

Sha, la, la, la, la, baby
