Is it an earthquake or simply a shock? Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock? Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy? Or is what i feel the real McCoy? Is it for all time or simply a lark? Is it Granada i see or only Asbury park? Is it a fancy not worth thinking of? Or is it at long last love? Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock? Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock? Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy? Or is what i feel the real McCoy? Is it for all time or simply a lark? Is it Granada i see or only Asbury park? Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of? Or is it at long long long last love?
