4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) - Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - 12/31/1980 - 2019 Mix
Well, 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, and sharp
And them 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
Oh Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight, because I, I may never see you again
Whoa-oh, Sandy, girl
Well, now, the greasers, they tramp the streets or get busted
For trying to sleep on the beach all night
And them boys in their spiked high heels
Ah Sandy, their skins are so white
And me, well, 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
You know that tilt-a-whirl way down on the south beach drag
Well, 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 rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Now, I remember runnin' down the beach at night with my old boss's daughter
Well, he ain't my boss no more, Sandy
Now, Sandy, the angels have lost their desire for us
You know, 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
And 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
Oh Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight and I promise that I'll love you forever
Swear
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
How about it?
It's good deal
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, and sharp
And them 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
Oh Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight, because I, I may never see you again
Whoa-oh, Sandy, girl
Well, now, the greasers, they tramp the streets or get busted
For trying to sleep on the beach all night
And them boys in their spiked high heels
Ah Sandy, their skins are so white
And me, well, I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades
Bangin' them pleasure machines

Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
You know that tilt-a-whirl way down on the south beach drag
