Atlantic City (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - June/July 2000) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Well they blew up the chicken man
In Philly last night
Now they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk
They're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble busing
In from out of state
And the D A can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
And the gambling commissions hanging
On by the skin of its teeth
Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies
Someday comes back
Put your makeup on
Fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight
In Atlantic City
Well I got a job
And tried to put my money away
But I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets
On that Coast City bus
Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies
Someday comes back
Put your makeup on
Fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now our luck may have died
And our love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We're going out where
The sands turning to gold
So put on your stockin's
Cause the nights getting cold
And everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies
Someday comes back
Now I been looking 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
Well I'm tired of coming out on the losing end
So honey last night I met this guy
Nd I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Well I guess everything dies
Baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies
Someday comes back
