4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
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, tryin’ to score
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 sleeping 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 all 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, that waitress I was seein’ lost her desire for me
I spoke with her just 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
Kids say last night she was dressed like a star in one of them cheap little seaside bars, and I saw her parked with her lover boy out on the Kokomo
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
for tellin’ fortunes better than they do?
For me this carnival life’s through; 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
Hey Sandy girl…
Who has a beach and/or Fourth of July song, poem, story, etc. for us?
