Deacon Blues

In the style of

Steely Dan

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

i'll learn to work
the saxophone
i play just what
i feel

drink scotch whiskey
all night long
and die behind
the wheel

they got a name for the
winners in the world
and 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

i'll learn to work
the saxophone
i play just
what i feel

drink scotch whiskey
all night long
and die behind
the wheel

they got a name for the
winners in the world
and i want a name
when i lose

they call alabama
the crimson tide
call me
deacon blues

this is the night of
the expanding 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

i'll learn to work
the saxophone
i play just
what i feel

drink scotch whiskey
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
