Everything Must Go — текст песни (Steely Dan)

It`s high time for a walk on the real side
Let`s admit the bastards beat us
I move to dissolve the corporation
In a pool of margaritas
So let`s switch off all the lights
Light up all the Luckies
Crankin` up the afterglow
Cause we`re goin` out of business
Everything must go

Talk about your major pain and suffering
Now our self-esteem is shattered
Show the world a mighty hidey-ho face
As we go sliding down the ladder

It was sweet up at the top
`Til that ill wind started blowing
Now it`s cozy down below
`Cause we`re goin` out of business
Everything must go

We gave it our best shot
But keep in mind we got a lot
The sky, the moon, good food and the weather
First-run movies—does anybody get lucky twice?
Wouldn`t it be nice…

Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy
Now it`s gone from late to later
Frankly I could use a little face time
In the service elevator
And if Dave from Acquisitions
Wants to get in on the action
With his Handicam in tow
Well we`re goin` out of business
Everything must go

Can it be the sorry sun is rising
Guess it`s time for us to book it
Talk about the famous road not taken
In the end we never took it
And if somewhere on the way
We got a few good licks in
No one`s ever gonna know
`Cause we`re goin` out of business
Everything must go
