We're About 9 - 4th Of July, Asbury Park lyrics

lyrics by: Bruce Springsteen Sandy, the fireworks are hangin' over Little Eden tonight Forcin' light onto all those stoned out faces Left stranded on this Fourth of July Down in town the circuit's full of switchblade lovers So fast, so shiny, so sharp And the wizards play down on Pinball Way out 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 Vienna virgins by the score Oh Sandy the aurora is rising behind us These pier lights our carnival life on the water Oh, love me tonight for I may never see you again Oh I mean it, Sandy girl My my my my my baby Oh I mean it, Sandy girl My baby All the greasers, they walk the streets or get busted trying to sleep out on the beach all night And them boys in their high heels Oh Sandy, their skins are so white 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 promised to unsnap their jeans And you know the tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag I got on it last night and my shirt got caught That Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off Oh Sandy the aurora is rising behind us The pier lights our carnival life on the water Ah, love me tonight for I may never see you again Oh I mean it, Sandy girl My my my my my baby Oh I mean it, Sandy girl My baby Now 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 one you saw Boppin' down the beach with the radio Last night the kids say she was dressed like a star In one of them cheap little seaside bars And they saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomo Did ya hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie For telling fortunes better than they do For me this boardwalk life's through You oughta quit this scene too Oh Sandy the aurora is rising behind us These pier lights our carnival life forever Ah, love me tonight for I may never see you again Oh I mean it, Sandy girl My my my my my baby Oh I mean it, Sandy girl My baby
