My Rival Songtext
von Steely Dan

The wind was driving in my face
The smell of prickly pear
(my rival show me my rival)
The milk truck eased into my space
Somebody scream somewhere

I struck a match
Against the door of Anthony′s bar and grill
I was the whining stranger
A fool in love
With time to kill


I've got detectives on his case
They filmed the whole charade
(my rival show me my rival)
He′s got a scar across his face
He wears a hearing aid

Sure he's a jolly roger
Until he answers for his crime
Yes
I'll match him whim for whim now

I still recall when I first held
Your tiny hand in mine
(my rival show me my rival)
I loved you more than I can tell
But now it′s stomping time

Sure he′s a jolly roger
Until he answers for his crime
Yes
I'll match him whim for whim now
