4th of July (Sandy)
|
|
Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
|
Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces,
|
Left stranded on this 4th of July
|
Down in town, the circuits 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 casinos 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 tryin' to sleep on the beach all night
|
Them boys in their spiked 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 promised to unsnap their jeans
|
And you know the tilt-a-whirl down on the South beach drag
|
I got on it last nite 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 thier 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, makin 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
|
