Bone To Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy)
Aerosmith · Night In The Ruts
Flatbush boy cruisin' sheepshead bay
His boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground DMT ridin' thunder train
The coney island whitefish boy is on the run again
Ooh, runnin' with the pack
Ooh, and never lookin' back
Ooh, and knows just where he's been
That coney island whitefish boy's been there and back again
Sixteen 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 gettin' down and dirty, snortin' up the beach
She'd be screamin' coney
She'd be dreamin' coney
Go get 'em coney
Coney
Bone to bone screamin' coney
She'd be screamin' coney
Get back in town
Get back, get down
Get back, get down
Get back in town
Coney
She'd be screamin' coney
Best believin' coney
She stood up and walked away
His boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground DMT ridin' thunder train
The coney island whitefish boy is on the run again
Ooh, runnin' with the pack
Ooh, and never lookin' back
Ooh, and knows just where he's been
That coney island whitefish boy's been there and back again
Sixteen 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 gettin' down and dirty, snortin' up the beach
She'd be screamin' coney
She'd be dreamin' coney
Go get 'em coney
Coney
Bone to bone screamin' coney
She'd be screamin' coney
Get back in town
Get back, get down
Get back, get down
Get back in town
Coney
She'd be screamin' coney
Best believin' coney
She stood up and walked away
Bone To Bone (Coney Island White Fish Boy)
Released in 1989 on the album Night In The Ruts, this track stands as a defining example of Aerosmith's late-period hard rock. The song blends the band's signature swagger with a darker, more brooding atmosphere that characterized their work during the late 80s. Featuring a driving rhythm section and Joe Perry's intricate guitar work, the recording captures the tension and energy typical of the era's rock scene. It remains a staple of the band's discography, showcasing their ability to craft anthemic tracks that balance aggression with melodic sensibility. The song has endured as a key part of Aerosmith's catalog, reflecting their evolution from their classic 70s sound to a more mature, polished rock style.
