  • Taken from The Bands' 1993 album Jericho. Lyrics are included in the description below.
    The album version of this song has already been uploaded albeit with very poor quality, that's why I've uploaded a high quality version with a bit rate of 320kbps.
    Lyrics:
    Well, they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night
    And they blew up his house, too
    Down on the boardwalk they're ready for a fight
    Gonna see what them racket boys can do
    Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state
    And the D.A. can't get no relief
    Gonna be a rumble on the promenade
    And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth
    Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
    Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    Well, I got a job and I put my money away
    But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay
    So I drew out 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 some day 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'll be goin' out where the sand turns to gold
    But put your stockings on, 'cause it might get cold
    Oh, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
    Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    Now I've been a-lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
    There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line
    Well, I'm tired of gettin' caught out on the losin' end
    But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
    Well, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
    But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
    Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
    And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
    Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City

      What are the odds that you are the only comment on this video (not including the uploader's reply), talking about the same thing I've experienced... and your name is also Jude like me! Hahaha

    Another great one to listen to with Dawn. She always has her hair looking pretty. But she meets me in Ocean City.

      the chicken man is in reference to Phil testa, aka : the chicken man, he was a mobster from philly.

      It was a power struggle within the Philly Mob after Angelo Bruno was assassinated.
