Babylon Sisters

Steely Dan · Definitive Collection [2006]

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)



Here come those Santa Ana winds again



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)



You've got to shake it, baby

You've got to shake it, baby

You've got to shake it



(Repeat....)
