Turn That Heartbeat Over Again Songtext
von Steely Dan

With stocking face I bought a gun
The plan was set, the plan was done
Looked at my watch and started for the door
Now the food here ain′t so good no more
And they closed the package store

Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me

Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, you know I′m not to blame
You know my reputation for playin' a good clean game
Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again

My poison′s named you know my brand
So please make mine a double, Sam
Stir it up nice, I′ll eat it right here
This highway runs from Paraguay
And I've just come all the way


Love your mama, love your brother
Love ′em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me

Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation for playin′ a good clean game
Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, I'll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again

We warned the corpse of William Wright
Not to cuss and drink all night
Ticket in hand we saw him laid to rest
Oh, but zombie see and zombie do
He′s here with me and you

Love your mama, love your brother
Love 'em till they run for cover
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on
Cry a jag on me

Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, you know I'm not to blame
You know my reputation for playin′ a good clean game
Oh, Michael, oh, Jesus, I′ll keep my promise when
You turn that heartbeat over again
Turn that heartbeat over again
