[Verse 1]
Flatbush boy cruising Sheepshead Bay
His boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground DMT, riding thunder train
The Coney Island white fish boy is on the run again

[Verse 2]
Ooh, running with the pack
Ooh, and never looking back
Ooh, know's just where he's been
That Coney Island white fish boy's
Been there and back again

[Verse 3]
16 years with his boardwalk queen
And at steeplechase, she used to wet his dreams
She combs her hair, that flaming jewel
Streaked with Clorox bleach
Coney getting down and dirty
Snorting up the beach

[Chorus]
And she'd be screaming (Coney)
And she'd be dreaming (Coney)
Go get them Coney

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
(Coney) bone to bone screaming
(Coney) she be screaming (Coney)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
In town
Get back in town
Get back, a get down
Get back in town
Coney!
She'd be screaming (Coney)
Best believe it (Coney)

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
