Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive (With Lyrics)

Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad Dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
CHORUS:
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive

Can you hear the evil crowd
The lies and the laughter
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
Where no sun is shining
No red light flashing
Here in this darkness
I know what I've done
I know all at once who I am

CHORUS

Lol.....one dislike? Somewhere there's a village looking for this idiot.

Best all time guitar intro.

@giuliano1276 ……..Fagan pronounced "Ore-gone" that way so as to somewhat rhyme with "gone" in the line before it.

[wendlormsby]

@wendlormsby ……..Correction: click on "show more" then go up with your cursor to the lyrics, left click and drag down.

@synergy069 …….I figgered it out. You have to left click "show more" and drag down the curser. Thanks, Syn for the partial clue.

[wendlormsby]

I always thought it was "poolkeeper's" son. How I love this song!

[giuliano1276]

Ohhhh, Oregon. I always heard "Aragon." Oregon makes more sense, I envisioned a story about a Spaniard outlaw.

[OrisLover]

The timing of this solo is impeccable.

[colliefest]

I am forever in awe of jamieblond1. SD is 76 songs and counting, thanks to jb1s humor make me laugh as hard as I did.
