Jersey Shore Baby b​/​w Feel Alive Tonight

by The Hesh Inc.

This is the story of a love affair Of passion and despair with that lazy crazy place The holy city the holy land oh Lord have mercy Jerusalem New Jersey to me it’s no disgrace Who’s that child sitting in the stroller A junior rock’n’roller in front of daddy’s hotel Ridin’ across the sky suspended from a cable Mixing bowl cradle casino carousel Well folks met folks and the seeds of love were sown Paradise found now for the time it could be home In the wild turbulence the seeds were scattered and blown But what’s been planted must grow Thus did the Jersey Shore Baby I once shared a playpen with an inner lake angel baby And maybe just maybe she rubbed off on me And when thirteen came around there came the magical weekend Off the lovers’ deep end between I and she I found the secret to life on a lucky charm imprinter And I shattered to splinters all I used to be From neb-nerd to cool no longer a pushover The old way was over and I felt so free I made this town mine I made it all my own Dreamland high above all the mundanities of home I had stumbled upon Eden but my flight fell like a stone Into open ended exile thrown Orphaned Jersey Shore Baby A simpler time in the not too distant past When the cars were fast and the love was in bloom A more innocent age when the buildings were standing Life wasn’t so demanding and the bust was a boom Maybe one day I can end this dispersion With no more diversion keeping me from my one true love Well it’s no time to bitch it’s time to get moving About time to start proving these dreams made flesh and blood And though what we grew up with in our generation May have fallen into disintegration But I’m marshaling forces to turn desolation Into paradise by the sea, I’m the Jersey Shore Rebuild the scenery, I’m the Jersey Shore Well come waltz with me I’m the Jersey Shore Baby ©1999, 2007, 2021 The Hesh Inc./BMI

I’m going out tonight In search of something I can’t place It’s out there but out of sight An entity without a face I feel the night outside calling me I can’t figure out what it wants me to do But its power is enthralling me And it’s a force I’m going to pursue Oh, I want to feel alive tonight Oh, I want to touch life tonight I’m going out tonight Looking for the lifeline that’s long been hidden To turn all that’s wrong into right And I won’t take the wrongs as given. Baby you know sometimes I feel so paralyzed Sometimes I’m left feeling so frozen With the dream in sight but out of reach, I’m tantalized And I wonder why I’ve been chosen To walk through the trash, among the ruins Sifting through the wreckage looking for that spark And listening for long-gone sounds and archaic tunes That echo through the old buildings from the beach to the park Oh, I want to feel alive tonight Oh, I want to touch life tonight I want to break this routine that adds up to suffocation I’m tired of watching the fruits of my labor keep shriveling I don’t want to be surrounded by decay and desolation Tonight I need to be among the living. Procrastination, procrastination Leaves me feeling like nothing gets done Frustration, vexation About the things I lost but should have won Spend a lifetime falling back Farther and farther from where I want to be Railroaded, diverted, sidetracked All sorts of hidden forces stalling me Oh, I want to feel alive tonight Oh, I want to touch life tonight Well I drove these streets a hundred thousand times In search of something to reverse the negative I’m not just going to sit around waiting for the moment to strike me Tonight I’m just going to go out and live. ©2007, 2021 The Hesh Inc./BMI
