TURN THAT HEARTBEAT OVER AGAIN
Album : Can't Buy a Thrill (1972)
Steely Dan


With stocking face I bought a gun 
The plan was set the plan was done 
Looked at my watch and started for the door 
Now the food here ain't so good no more 
And they closed the package store 

CHORUS: 
Love your mama, love your brother 
Love 'em till they run for cover 
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on 
Cry a jag on me 

Oh Michael Oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame 
You know my reputation for playing a good clean game 
Oh Michael Oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when 
You turn that heartbeat over again 

My poison's named you know my brand 
So please make mine a double, Sam 
Stir it up nice I'll eat it right here 
This highway runs from Paraguay 
And I've just come all the way 

CHORUS 

We warned the corpse of William Wright 
Not to cuss and drink all night 
Ticket in hand I saw him laid to rest 
But zombie see and zombie do 
He's here with me and you 

CHORUS
