Lyrics for Royal Scam by Steely Dan:
| | | Artist: | Steely Dan |
| | Album: | Royal Scam | | Track: | Royal Scam | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 89 | | | | Lyrics: | And they wandered in from the city
Of St. John without a dime
Wearing coats that shine
both red and green
Colors from their sunny island
From their boats of iron they looked
upon
The promised land where surely life was sweet
On the rising tide to New York
City
Did they ride into the street
See the glory of the Royal Scam
They are
hounded down to the bottom
Of a bad town amid the ruins
Where they learn to fear an angry
race
Of fallen kings their dark companions
While the memory of their southern sky
Was
clouded by the savage winter
Every patron saint hung on the wall
Shared the room with
twenty sinners
Se the glory of the Royal Scam
By the blackened wall he does it
all
He thinks he's died and gone to heaven
Now the tale is told by the old man
Back
home he reads the letter
How they are paid in gold just to babble
In the back room all
night and waste the time
And they wandered in from the city
Of St. John without a
dime
See the glory of the Royal Scam
