Snowbound

Donald Fagen

At Nervous Time

We roll downtown

We've got scenes to crash

We're gonna trick and trash

We're gonna find some fun

We hit the street

With visors down

With our thermasuits

Sealed up tight

We can beat the freeze

And get saved tonight

Let's stop off at the Metroplex

That little dancer's got some style

Yes she's the one I'll be waiting for

At the stage door



Chorus:

Snowbound

Let's sleep in today

Wake me up

When the wolves come out to play

Heat up

These white nights

We're gonna turn this town

Into a city of lights



We take the tube

To Club Hi Ho

It's about deadspace

It's a marketplace

And a party house too

Something new

From Charlie Tokyo

It's a kind of pyramid

With a human heart

Beating in an ion grid

A critic grabs us

And says without a smile

The work seduces us with light

Eviva laughs and we step out

Into the blue-white night



[Chorus]



We sail our icecats on the frozen river

Some loser fires off a flare, amen

For seven seconds it's like Christmas day

And then it's dark again

And then it's dark again



[Chorus]
