What A Shame About Me - Steely Dan[00:00:01]
I was grinding through my day gig[00:00:34]
Stackin' cutouts at the strand[00:00:39]
When in walks franny from nyu[00:00:43]
We were quite an item back then[00:00:47]
We talked about her films and shows and cds[00:00:52]
And I don't know what else[00:00:57]
She said yeah hollywood's been good to me[00:01:00]
But tell me - how about yourself[00:01:04]
I'm still working on that novel[00:01:08]
But I'm just about to quit[00:01:11]
'Cause I'm worrying about the future now[00:01:13]
Or maybe this is it[00:01:15]
It's not all that I thought it would be[00:01:17]
What a shame about me[00:01:21]
She said talk to me do you ever see[00:01:30]
Anybody else from our old crew[00:01:34]
Bobby dakine won the bunsen prize[00:01:38]
Now he's coming out with something new[00:01:42]
Alan owns a chain of steamer heavens[00:01:47]
And barry is the software king[00:01:51]
And somebody told me in the early 80's[00:01:55]
You were gonna be the next big thing[00:02:00]
Well now that was just a rumor[00:02:03]
But I guess I'm doin' fine[00:02:06]
Three weeks out of the rehab[00:02:08]
Living one day at a time[00:02:10]
Sneaking up on the new century[00:02:12]
What a shame about me[00:02:16]
What a shame about me[00:02:24]
I'm thinking of a major jane street sunrise[00:02:28]
And the goddess on the fire escape was you[00:02:34]
We both ran out of small talk[00:02:59]
The connection seemed to go dead[00:03:03]
I was about to say hey have a nice life[00:03:07]
When she touched my hand and said:[00:03:12]
You know I just had this great idea[00:03:15]
This could be very cool[00:03:21]
Why don't we grab a cab to my hotel[00:03:24]
And make believe we're back at our old school[00:03:28]
I said babe you look delicious[00:03:32]
And you're standing very close[00:03:35]
But like this is lower broadway[00:03:37]
And you're talking to a ghost[00:03:39]
Take a good look it's easy to see[00:03:41]
What a shame about me[00:03:45]
What a shame about me[00:03:50]
A shame[00:03:54]
A shame about me[00:04:02]
A shame[00:04:11]
A shame about me[00:04:19]
A shame[00:04:28]
A shame about me[00:04:36]
A shame[00:04:45]
A shame about me[00:04:53]
