Steely Dan
Wet Side Story
Count Mickey gets hungry
Bit wrangler's got to take a break sometime
Got to feed the machine
Steamer heaven is empty
A couple of kids and behind the counter
The lovely Janine
Soon as he walks in the door she's smiling
Covers his eyes with his hands 'cause

Everyone knows that it's scary out there
When you jump to the wet side
Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life
And it's way complex
Hacking through all the harsh effects

Mick goes for the bomb
One of those wax looking angel food wheelies
With the gunk on the top
She gives him back a quarter
Her hand touched his
You can feel the flames arching
Over the roof of the shop
For a moment they spun on the edge of history
Fell into animal time 'cause

Everyone knows that it's scary out there
When you jump to the wet side
Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life
And it's way complex
Hacking through all the harsh effects
Back out on the tarmac
It was alive with the sweet sounds of summer
Oh, the steamer's alright (Steamer's alright)
Mick tries to remember
Something kinda cool but it's already fading
Back to straight black and white
Maybe I needed a hit of down time
Covers his eyes with his hands cause

Everyone knows that it's scary out there
When you jump to the wet side
Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life
And it's way complex
Hacking through all the harsh effects

Everyone knows that it's scary out there
When you jump to the wet side
Where it's colder, it's louder, it's screamin' with life
And it's way complex
Hacking through all the harsh effects
