BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - 4th Of July, Asbury Park lyrics

rate me

Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over little eden tonight<br>Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded<br>On this fourth of july<br>Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast<br>So shiny so sharp<br>And the wizards play down on pinball way on the boardwalk way past dark<br>And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like latin<br>Lovers along the shore<br>Chasin' all them silly new york girls<br><br>Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us, the pier lights our carnival<br>Life forever<br>Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey sandy girl<br><br>Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to<br>Sleep on the beach all night<br>Them boys in their spiked high heels ah sandy their skins are so white<br>And me I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades bangin' them<br>Pleasure machines<br>Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise<br>To unsnap their jeans<br>And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag<br>I got on it last night and my shirt got caught<br>And that joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off<br><br>Oh sandy the aurora is risin' behind us<br>The pier lights our carnival life on the water<br>Runnin' down the beach at night with my boss's daughter<br>Well he ain't my boss no more sandy<br><br>Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us<br>I spoke to `em just last night and they said they won't set<br>Themselves on fire for us anymore<br>Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from<br>Heaven on their harleys they come and they go<br>And you can see `em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore<br>Bars parked making love with their babies out on the kokomo<br>Well the cops finally busted madame marie for tellin' fortunes better<br>Than they do<br>This boardwalk life for me is through<br>You know you ought to quit this scene too<br><br>Sandy the aurora's rising behind us, the pier lights our<br>Carnival life forever<br>Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
