	Story Behind the Song My wife -- my girlfriend, then -- and I used to walk the boardwalk in Asbury Park during the deepest, darkest days of the city, when all movement was downward and the prospect of a better future looked dim if not nonexistent. I would go there, with her and sometimes also by myself, just to commune with the spirits of what once was and what could have been, hoping and praying for what we believed truly could be, but sometimes it would get so hopeless that she would tell me, when planning to go out at night, that she doesn't want to spend any time lamenting the desolation -- she needs to be among the living. In this tune, that desire is voiced, but also that the city itself should be the place where one can once more feel alive. Recorded March 4, 2003 at Retromedia Studios, Red Bank, NJ Engineered and mixed by John Noll Piano and vocal -- The Hesh Bass -- Steve Lopresto Drums -- Rick Oricchio Lyrics 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.
