Atlantic City
Atlantic City's Desperate Dance: A Tale of Risk, Redemption, and Second Chances
Lyrics
Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
Violent event occurred in Philly involving the chicken man.
They blew up his house too
The house of the chicken man was also destroyed.
Down on the boardwalk, they're ready for a fight
Conflict brewing on the boardwalk, anticipating a confrontation.
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Expecting actions from individuals involved in illegal activities.
Now there's trouble bustin' in from out of state
Trouble is arriving from other places, beyond state boundaries.
And the DA Can't get no relief
The District Attorney is unable to find a solution or respite.
Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
Anticipating a fight or conflict at the promenade.
And the gambler commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth
The commissioner associated with gambling is barely holding on.
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
Everything eventually ceases to exist, it's a truth.
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Speculation that things that die might return in some form.
Put your makeup on and fix your hair up pretty
An invitation to prepare oneself and look presentable.
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Proposal to meet in Atlantic City that night.
Looking for a job, but it's hard to find
Struggling to find employment.
There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line
Feeling like being on the losing side.
But I'm tired of getting caught out on a losing end
Tired of constantly ending up on the losing side of things.
I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
Agreed to do a favor for someone.
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
Reiteration of the inevitability of everything coming to an end.
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Suggestion that what dies might have a chance of revival.
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Reiteration of preparing oneself and looking good.
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Repetition of the invitation to meet in Atlantic City.
Well, I got a job and I put my money away
Found a job and saved money, but burdened by insurmountable debt.
But I got the kind of debt that no honest man can pay
The debt is overwhelming and impossible to repay honestly.
So I drew out what I had from the central trust
Withdrew money from a bank to buy tickets for a trip.
And bought us two tickets on a coach city bus
Purchased bus tickets for two people.
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
Reiteration that everything eventually comes to an end.
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Speculation that what dies might have a possibility of returning.
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
Instructions to prepare oneself for the meeting in Atlantic City.
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Repetition of the proposal to meet in Atlantic City.
