Teahouse on The Tracks — текст песни (Steely Dan)

Out on the fringe

Where the shallows meet the scratchlands

Out where hope and the highway ends

You can park or cruise

Both ways you lose

This is flytown now my friend



You take a walk on bleak street

Tonight could be the night you crash

Then you turn and stop

Start to fingerpop

You think you hear a wailin combo

You climb a flight of twisted stairs

Some cat says buddy



Chorus:

If youve got eyes

To rhythmatize

Bring your flat hat and your ax

cause tonight at ten

Well be workin again

At the teahouse on the tracks



The siegel bros. were slammin out a baion

So slick it should have been a crime

Irene and flocko and little amy khan

Lead off the big front line

The crowd was bouncin in sync with the pulse

You get a case of party feet

(then the room turns bright

And fills up with light)

And then from somewhere deep inside you

Some frozen stuff begins to crack

Better hurry



Chorus:

Take the t-line to bleak and divine

Just above the good time flats

Its your last chance

To learn how to dance

At the teahouse on the tracks



On sunday morning

Youre back at the wheel

Youre feelng calm and crisp and strong



Chorus:

If it feels right

Just drive for the light

Thats the groovessential facts

Someday well all meet at the end of the street

At the teahouse on the tracks
