Secret Garden
live version
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 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
This pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again
Hey, Sandy girl, now now baby
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, Sandy, their skins are so white
And me, I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades, bangin' them crazy machines
Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
You let those whores wait down on the south beach drag
Well I got on her last night and my shirt got caught
And that Joey kept me spinnin'
I didn't think I'd ever get off
Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
I remember running down the beach at night with my own boss's daughter
He ain't my boss no more Sandy
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 them 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 is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
Swear
