4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

Sandy, the fireworks are hailin'

over Little Eden tonight

Forcin' a light

into all those stoney faces

left stranded on this warm 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 on the shore

Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the shore

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, my baby

Now the greasers they tramp the streets

or get busted for sleeping on the beach all night

Them boys in their 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 they 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', lauhghin' 'neath the boardwalk with my boss's daughter

I remember, Sandy girl, now baby

Sandy, that waitress I was seeing

lost her desire for me

I spoke to her last night

and 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 bobbin' down the beach

with the radio

The kids say last night she was dresses like a star

in one of them cheap lillte seaside bars

and I saw her parked with Loverboy

out on the Kokomo

Did you hear the cops finally busted Maddam Marie

for tellin' fortunes better than they do

For me this boardwalk life is through

You ought to quit this scene too

Sandy, the aurora is rinsing behind us

This pier lights our carnival life forever

Oh love me tonight

and I promise I'll love you forever
