Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive |
|
|
|
Agents of the law |
|
Luckless pedestrian |
|
I know you're out there |
|
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones |
|
Saying all is forgiven |
|
Mad dog surrender |
|
How can I answer |
|
A man of my mind can do anything |
|
|
|
[Chorus] |
|
I'm a bookkeeper's son |
|
I don't want to shoot no one |
|
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon |
|
Don't take me alive |
|
Got a case of dynamite |
|
I could hold out here all night |
|
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon |
|
Don't take me alive |
|
|
|
Can you hear the evil crowd |
|
The lies and the laughter |
|
I hear my inside |
|
The mechanized hum of another world |
|
Where no sun is shining |
|
No red light flashing |
|
Here in this darkness |
|
I know what I've done |
|
I know all at once who I am |
