Steely Dan — Turn That Heartbeat Over Again

[Verse 1] With stocking face I bought a gun The plan was set, the plan was done Looked at my watch and started for the door Now the food here ain't so good no more And they closed the package store [Pre-Chorus] Love your mama, love your brother Love 'em till they run for cover Turn the light off, keep your shirt on Cry a jag on me [Chorus] Oh Michael, oh Jesus You know I'm not to blame You know my reputation For playing a good clean game Oh Michael, oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when You turn that heartbeat over again [Verse 2] My poison's named, you know my brand So please make mine a double, Sam Stir it up nice, I'll eat it right here Yeah, this highway runs from Paraguay And I've just come all the way [Pre-Chorus] Love your mama, love your brother Love 'em till they run for cover Turn the light off, keep your shirt on Cry a jag on me [Chorus] Oh Michael, oh Jesus You know I'm not to blame You know my reputation For playing a good clean game Oh Michael, oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when You turn that heartbeat over again [Instrumental break 2:28-3:33] [Verse 3] We warned the corpse of William Wright Not to cuss and drink all night Ticket in hand, we saw him laid to rest Woah, but zombie see and zombie do He's here with me and you [Pre-Chorus] Love your mama, love your brother Love 'em till they run for cover Turn the light off, keep your shirt on Cry a jag on me [Chorus] Oh Michael, oh Jesus You know I'm not to blame You know my reputation For playing a good clean game Oh Michael, oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when You turn that heartbeat over again [Outro] Turn that heartbeat over again
