Steely Dan Songtext
von pyncher

Everybody′s talking about Steely Dan
But what about me man
Hey Steely what about me

Steely Dan had a plan
He couldn't get in
He couldn′t get out
And I was mad
No I was sad
No I wasn't looking
I couldn't have
I came back in
Looking back home
He could′ve cried
But he just groaned
My eyes were wide
Sunken with pride
You′re not alright


And I said all
All the people
They come around in their various ways

Ch ch chu
Oh
Ch ch chu
Oh

Our eyes all ran around the page
We couldn't find work
They just wanted fame
Now I was down
No I was out
Yes it was something to shout about
The sirens sighed
Everything stopped and we all cried
And I was on top of every ride
Dan even told me he didn′t mind

And I said oh
All the people
They keep coming around


Show me something Steely
Show me what you got
And if I ain't got nothing for you
Then I′ll join you in the ground
And I said
And I'll say to anybody in the room
Looking down their noses at Dan
He was my one and only man
You know he said something to me
Before he died
He said oh boy
I′m tired but I'm alive

Ch ch cu
Oh
Ch ch cu
Oh

Wide awake
I'm oven baked
Nothing else mattered
Nothing to say
Steely struggled to get away
The people screaming they wanted to pay
He took his life
Alongside his wife
Now I can′t get
Him out of my mind
And I could cry but I just sigh
Oh I don′t mind

And I said all the people
They come around they're still coming around in their ways

Stop
Stop it
Stop it Steely
I′m sorry
I'm sorry what they done to you Steely
