Almost Gothic — текст песни (Steely Dan)

I`m working on gospel time these days
(The summer this could be the cool part of the summer)

The sloe eyed creature in the reckless room she`s so severe
A wise child walks right out of here

I`m so excited I can barely cope
I`m sizzling like an isotope
I`m on fire so cut me some slack

CHORUS:
First she`s way gone then she comes back
She`s all business then she`s ready to play
She`s almost gothic in a natural way

This house of desire is built foursquare
(The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)

When she speaks it`s like the slickest song I ever heard
I`m hanging on her every word
As if I`m not already blazed enough
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
That`s her style - to jerk me around

CHORUS:
First she`s all feel then she cools down
She`s pure science with a splash of black cat
She`s almost gothic and I like it like that

This dark place so thrilling and new
It`s kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Unless I`m totally wrong
I hear her rap and brother it`s strong

I`m pretty sure that what she`s telling me is mostly lies
But I just stand there hypnotized

I`ll just have to make it work somehow
I`m in the amen corner now
It`s called love - I spell L -U- V

CHORUS:
First she`s all buzz then she`s noise-free
She`s bubbling over then there`s nothing to say
She`s almost gothic in a natural way

She`s old school then she`s like young
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
She`s almost gothic but it`s better than that
