Artist/Band: Steely Dan
Lyrics for Song: Do It Again
Lyrics for Album: Definitive Collection [2006]



In the morning you go gunning for the man who stole your water.

And you fire 'till he's done in, but they catch you on the border.

And the mourners are all singing as they drag you by your feet.

But the Hangman isn't hanging, and they put you on the street.



You go back, Jack, do it again.

Wheel turning 'round and 'round.

You go back, Jack, do it again.



Well you know she's no high climber, then you find your only friend

In a room with your two timer, and you're sure you're near the end

Then you love a little wild one, and she brings you only sorrow

All the time you know she's smiling, you'll be on your knees tomorrow



You go back, Jack, do it again.

Wheel turning 'round and 'round.

You go back, Jack, do it again.



Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gambling man;

Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand

Your black cards can bring you money so you hide them when you're able

In the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table



You go back, Jack, do it again.

Wheel turning 'round and 'round.

You go back, Jack, do it again
