Steely Dan - Green Book lyrics

rate me

My coat is black and the moon is yellow

Here is where I get off

As you can see for yourself old girl in the Green Book

I tango down to the smoky lobby

My eyes adjust to the light

The new cashier looks like Jill St. John

Can that be right?

I'm rolling into the bar at Joey's

They're getting ready to close

Here she comes very “Kiss Me Deadly”

My life, my love, my third hand rose

Flash ahead to a yummy playback

Just you and me in a room

Double dreaming a page at a time in the Green Book

The torso rocks and the eyes are keepers

Now where'd we sample those legs?

I'm thinking Marilyn 4.0 in the Green Book

I like the neon I love the music

Anachronistic but nice

The seamless segue from fun to fever

It's a sweet device

I'm so in love with this dirty city

This crazy grid of desire

The festive icons along the way

The boardwalk, the lovers, the house on fire

She's kind of cute but a little younger

She's got the mood and the moves

It's kinda scary to dig yourself in the Green Book
