Steely Dan - Countermoon lyrics

Your rating:


On a night like this 

You look up at your lover 

It's like you're in some old cartoon 

Then you detect 

The scent of faded roses 

Up in the sky 

There's that cruel countermoon 

Could that be murder you see in her eyes 

You try a long and desperate kiss 

You can't escape it 

That beam is sure to find you 



Chorus: 

On a night like this 

The story is told 

How the women get restless 

And the men grow cold 

Gotham shudders 

There's a chill in the air 

There's a countermoon 

Lovers all beware 



Hand in hand 

You walk along the river 

You stop to clutch and caress 

A countermoonbeam 

Comes sweeping off the water 

She says "You're not my Jackie. 

My Jackie was the best." 

Spitewaves are threatening 

The seaside hotels 

It's nasty weather for July 

Last night you loved her 

Tonight you wonder why 



Chorus 



At every pay phone 

There's somebody cryin' 

All the streets are slick with tears 

When you see that blue ray 

There's a heartquake on the way 



Chorus
