SINGER: Steely Dan

SONG:Blues Beach

I was scrapin' bottom
gropin' in the dark
it takes a crusty punk to really beat
the mean streets of medicine park
so i shifted left for out of town
then i clicked my heels and i doubled down to
Blues beach
i'm frying
sizzlin' in the merciful rays
and it's the long sad sunday
of the early resigned
I went to central station
to catch that early bus
they were gassed and runnin' every which way
but unhappily not for us
here comes trina -- the child bride
i said hey pretty girl -- can i cop a ride to
Blues beach
it's rainin'
i'm chillin' at the manatee bar
well it's a stone soul picnic
for the early resigned
We could rent a paranymphic glider
my hypothetical friend
and we could sail
'til the bending end
Grab big dog a blanket
angel of my heart
things may get a whole lot worse
before suddenly falling apart
give your roommate yvonne a ring
cause if she still wants in i gotta pull some strings
On blues beach
i'm dying
freezin' in the merciful rays
and it's the long sad sunday
of the early resigned
