She runs away and I stand still
just watching the way a girl can fill
up a heart like a stone when she says leave me alone
the sun falls down on the strand
on the fools and clowns like I know I am
let the girl slip away like a wind off a wave
Chorus:
Times a-wasting here she says
summer nights on the edge of the city
waving bye bye bye and smiling
sweetly
Coney Island, mid-July
tell my fortune tell me lies
it's just a dollar a chance
to get the pretty girl and dance
the whole world's hopping on the tilt-a-whirl
flash bulbs popping caught in mid-twirl
at the carnival tonight trade the darkness for some light
Chorus.
Bridge:
Do you want to dance?
gotta take my hands
gotta take some wine from my mouth
do you want to stretch out in the sand
get in my car and drive South
do you want to know what it would be like
do you want to come and find out
do you want to dance
do you want a chance
do you want to dance?
Coney Island, mid July
send my angel down in disguise
like a run through the rain
like a wind off a wave
and the whole world's hopping
like it sometimes does
lights on the boardwalk
and the couples in love
turn the darkness away
turn the night to the day
Chorus.
