Security Joan Songtext
von Donald Fagen

Well, I guess I needed a miracle
If I was gonna make my flight
I had to get to gate C13
And it was still way out of sight

Somethin′ in my carry-on bag
Tipped off the x-ray machine
'Cause then an angel straight from heaven
Asked me to "Step behind that screen"
And when I felt the wand sweep over me
You know I never felt so clean

Girl you won′t find my name on your list (your name on your list)
Honey you know I ain't no terrorist
Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone
You know I love, love, love you
Security Joan

I hung out at the Starbucks
'Til just around boardin′ time
Then I strolled on back to the checkpoint
Just one thing on my mind


She flashed that crooked smile and said
"Well, I believe you missed your flight"
I said, "There′s been a minor change of plan
And I'll be stayin′ for one more night"
I could tell from the way she looked at me
Everythin' was gonna be all right

Well, girl you won′t find my name on your list (your name on your list)
Honey, you know I ain't no terrorist
Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone
You know I love, love, love you
Security Joan, search me now

Girl you won′t find my name on your list (your name on your list)
Honey, you know I ain't no terrorist
Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone
You know I love, love, love you
Security Joan, hey, now

Your name on your list (honey, you know I ain't no terrorist)
Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone
You know I love, love, love you
Security Joan
