The Hold Steady - Atlantic City lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Atlantic City lyrics]
Well, they blew up the chicken
Man in Philly last night
And blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk
They're gettin' ready for a fight
Gonna see what these racket boys can do
Trouble busin' in from outta state
And the DA can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by
The skin of it's teeth
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
I got a job and I tried
To put some money away
But, I got debts no honest man can pay
So I took what I had from the Central Trust
And I got us two tickets
On that Coast City bus
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, make your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now our luck may have died
And our love's gone cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out tonight where the
Sands turn to gold
So put on your stockings, girl
The night's gettin' cold
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
I been lookin' for a job
But it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and
Losers and don't get
Caught on the wrong side of that line
I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
Last night I met this guy
I'm gonna do a favor for him
Last night I met this guy
I'm gonna do a favor for him
Last night I met this guy
I'm gonna do a favor for him
Last night I met this guy
Last night I met this guy
Last night I met this guy
I'm gonna do a favor for him
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Man in Philly last night
And blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk
They're gettin' ready for a fight
Gonna see what these racket boys can do
Trouble busin' in from outta state
And the DA can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by
The skin of it's teeth
Everything dies, that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
