Top Ten Obscure Steely Dan Lyrics - Staff Top 10 - Stylus Magazine (http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/staff_top_10/top-ten-obscure-steely-dan-lyrics.htm)
Are you reelin’ in the years
Stowin’ away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had enough of mine?
Lonnie swept up the playroom
And he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours ‘til Lonnie came around
After closing time at the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo from the room at the top of the stairs
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale…
I can tell by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
Kids if you want some fun
Mr. LaPage is your man…
On the hill the stuff was laced with Kerosene
But yours was kitchen clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your Technicolor motorhome
On the counter by your keys
Was a book of numbers and your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow?
Jo would you love to scrapple?
She’ll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
Tonight when I chase the dragon
The water will change to cherry wine
And the silver will turn to gold
Are you reelin’ in the years
Stowin’ away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had enough of mine?
Lonnie swept up the playroom
And he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours ‘til Lonnie came around
After closing time at the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo from the room at the top of the stairs
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale…
I can tell by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
Kids if you want some fun
Mr. LaPage is your man…
On the hill the stuff was laced with Kerosene
But yours was kitchen clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your Technicolor motorhome
On the counter by your keys
Was a book of numbers and your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow?
Jo would you love to scrapple?
She’ll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
Tonight when I chase the dragon
The water will change to cherry wine
And the silver will turn to gold
