Lyrics for DEACON BLUES by Steely Dan:
| | | Artist: | Steely Dan |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | DEACON BLUES | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 98 | | | | Lyrics: | This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I
used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At
ramblers
Wild gamblers
That's all in the past
You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line
CHORUS:
I'll learn to work the
saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And
die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when
I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues
My
back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of
true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind
I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and
bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A
world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home
CHORUS
This
is the night
Of the expanding the man
I take one last drag
As I approach the
stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother
is free
I'll be what I want to be
