4th of July (Sandy)
Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces,
Left stranded on this 4th of July
Down in town, the circuits 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 casinos dance with their shirts open
Like Latin lovers along the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York girls
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 tryin' to sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked 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 promised to unsnap their jeans
And you know the tilt-a-whirl down on the South beach drag
I got on it last nite 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, the angels have lost thier desire for us
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
Parked, makin 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
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
