Donald Fagen lyrics : "Trans-Island Skyway"

I was born yesterday
When they brought my Kamakiri
When they handed me the keys

It's a steam-power 10
The frame is out of Glasgow
The tech is Balinese

It's not a freeway bullet
Or a bug with monster wheels
It's a total biosphere

The farm in the back
Is hydroponic
Good, fresh things

Every day of the year
Good, fresh things
Every day of the year


With all screens and functions
In sync lock with Tripstar

This cool rolling bubble
Is all set to samba
This route could be trouble

(This route could be trouble)

[Chorus:]

Steamin' up
That Trans-Island Skyway
Tryin' to make that final deadline

And if the lanes are clear
We're gonna drive a little harder
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time


Say, there's a wreck
On the side of the road

Lots of blood and broken glass
The kid who was driving
I know from somewhere

Some kids just drive too fast
Wait just a minute
There's a beautiful survivor

With dancer's legs and laughing eyes
C'mon snakehips, it's all over now
Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride


Relax - put some sounds on
I'll brew up some decaf

C'mon kick off those heels ma'am
Now breathe in and sigh out
Let's get with the program

(Let's talk about the good times)

[Chorus]


We reach the sprangle
Just at dawn

These little streets I used to know
Is that my father
Mowin' the lawn

(C'mon daddy get in let's go)
C'mon daddy get in let's go
C'mon daddy get in let's go

C'mon daddy get in let's go
C'mon daddy get in let's go
C'mon daddy get in let's go

C'mon daddy get in let's go

We pull into Five Zoos

Past motels and drive-thrus
That noon sun is blinding
The tidepools are boiling

Below plates are grinding
(Let's talk about the good times)


[Chorus]
