Steely Dan - Babylon Sisters lyrics

rate me

Drive west on Sunset

To the sea

Turn that jungle music down

Just until we're out of town

This is no one night stand

It's a real occasion

Close your eyes and you'll be there

It's everything they say

The end of a perfect day

Distant lights from across the bay

Babylon sisters shake it

Babylon sisters shake it

So fine so young

Tell me I'm the only one

Here come those Santa Ana winds again

We'll jog with show folk on the sand

Drink kirschwasser from a shell

San Francisco show and tell

Well I should know by now

That it's just a spasm

Like a Sunday in T.J.

That it's cheap but it's not free

That I'm not what I used to be

And that love's not a game for three

Babylon sisters shake it

Babylon sisters shake it

So fine so young

Tell me I'm the only one

My friends say no don't go

For that cotton candy

Son you're playing with fire

The kid will live and learn

As he watches his bridges burn

From the point of no return

Babylon sisters shake it

Babylon sisters shake it

So fine so young

Tell me I'm the only one
