Atlantic City
The Band Lyrics

Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
There was an explosive incident in Philadelphia where the man who deals in illegal businesses was killed by rival racketeers, and his house was also extensively damaged.

And they blew up his house, too
The incident of bombing not only killed the chicken man but also caused destruction to his house.

Down on the boardwalk they're ready for a fight
There is a potential for a violent conflict amongst the criminal gangs who operate illegally on the boardwalk.

Gonna see what them racket boys can do
The situation will show what kind of power and strategy the organized crime groups can use.

Now there's trouble bustin' in from outta state
The unlawful activities are now also expanding from other states, and the situation is getting worse.

And the D.A. can't get no relief
The District Attorney is unable to find a solution or bring relief to the problem.

Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
There is going to be a violent encounter on the promenade amongst the opposing gangs.

And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth
The Gambling Commissioner is barely holding on to his position because of the continuous illegal activities of the organized crime groups who control the gambling sector.

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
It's inevitable that everything must end, and that's the truth of life.

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
It's possible that things that have died or ended might come back to life with a new form or perspective.

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Get ready and dolled up to go out and have fun.

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Come see me tonight in Atlantic City for some fun time.

Well, I got a job and I put my money away
I started working and saving my money for the future.

But I got debts that no honest man can pay
Despite having a job, I'm still in a lot of debt that I don't think I can repay honestly.

So I drew what I had from the central trust
I withdrew all the money I had saved in the central trust fund.

And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
With the money I had saved up, I bought two bus tickets to go to Coast City with you.

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
Our luck might have run out, and our relationship might have gone cold.

But with you, forever I'll stay
Despite the harsh reality, I'm committed to staying with you forever.

We'll be goin' out where the sands turn to gold
We'll be going to a place where we can experience joy and happiness.

But put your stockings on 'cause it might get cold
Be prepared for a cold climate, so bring your stockings along.

Now I've been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
I've been searching for a job, but it's difficult to find one.

There's winners and there's losers
In life, some people win, and some people lose.

And I'm south of the line
I'm one of the losers.

Well, I'm tired of gettin' caught out on the losin' end
I'm tired of always losing in life and feeling trapped.

But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
I spoke to a man last night who offered me a favor to do for him.

Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Come see me tonight in Atlantic City for some fun time.
