Steely dan Lyrics

Verse 1:
Call me morph the cat
Like the night belongs to mona
Lisa
, nice to meet yah
My name’s mary came to greet yah
And introduce you to my world
Wind, let's take trip and let’s begin

Yes, where to the start, i’m world’s apart
From that little kid who
Convinced her 3rd grade
Destined to save the day

Rubber in my soul
Legends in my sea
Runaways
to hide
Ya, you tell me
Call me morph the cat
Yah, merlin where you at

Chorus:
Steely dan, yah that's me
On that jazzy wave, call me peg
How i smile that way

Got 'em shook
By the door, i'm the spook in the grim
Like the reaper wanting more (x2)
Bridge:
Steely dan, with the band
With the plan, it's who i am, it’s what i do
Steely dan, with the band
With the plan, it's who i am, where are you (x2)

Verse 2:
Keep it cool i run it up, stay funny i switch it up
Kick it push it, lupe style, day n nite kid cudi wild
Call me deacon blues, yes sure i do
The dirty work
, just a fool-ish
Kid
who can't see an end beyond a whim, imagine it
Out the other world, running hills, twirl
And dance
, romance the clouds
I pronounce that i’m flying

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
