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
|
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 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 their 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
