Fourth Of July, Asbury Park Lyrics - Richard Shindell

Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight 

Forcin' a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July 

Down in town the circuit's full of 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 on the shore 

Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the score 

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us 

Those pier lights, our carnival life forever 

Oh, 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 sleepin' 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 all promised 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 it kept me spinnin', they didn't think I'd ever get off 

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us 

Those pier lights, our carnival life on the water 

Runnin', laughin' underneath the boardwalk with the boss's daughter 

I remember, Sandy girl... my baby 

Sandy, the 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 girl you saw boppin' down the beach with the radio 

Kids say last night she was dressed like a star in one of the 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
