Steely Dan — Wet Side Story

Count Mickey gets hungry Bit wrangler's got to take a break sometime Got to feed the machine Steamer heaven is empty A couple of kids and behind the counter The lovely Janine Soon as he walks in the door she's smiling Covers his eyes with his hands 'cause Everyone knows that it's scary out there When you jump to the wet side Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life And it's way complex Hacking through all the harsh effects Mick goes for the bomb One of those wax looking angel food wheelies With the gunk on the top She gives him back a quarter Her hand touched his You can feel the flames arching Over the roof of the shop For a moment they spun on the edge of history Fell into animal time 'cause Everyone knows that it's scary out there When you jump to the wet side Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life And it's way complex Hacking through all the harsh effects Back out on the tarmac It was alive with the sweet sounds of summer Oh, the steamer's alright (Steamer's alright) Mick tries to remember Something kinda cool but it's already fading Back to straight black and white Maybe I needed a hit of down time Covers his eyes with his hands cause Everyone knows that it's scary out there When you jump to the wet side Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life And it's way complex Hacking through all the harsh effects Everyone knows that it's scary out there When you jump to the wet side Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life And it's way complex Hacking through all the harsh effects
