My Rival — текст песни (Steely Dan)

The wind was driving in my face

The smell of prickly pear

[my rival - show me my rival]

The milk truck eased into my space

Somebody screamed somewhere

I struck a match against the door

Of anthonys bar and grill

I was the whining stranger

A fool in love

With time to kill



Ive got detectives on his case

They filmed the whole charade

[my rival - show me my rival]

Hes got a scar across his face

He wears a hearing aid



Sure hes a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes Ill match him whim for whim now



I still recall when I first held

Your tiny hand in mine

[my rival - show me my rival]

I loved you more than I can tell

But now its stomping time



Sure hes a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes Ill match him whim for whim now
