I G Y Lyrics

I.G.Y. (International Geophysical Year)
Donald Fagen

Standing tough
under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream's in sight
You've got
to admit it
At this point in time that it's clear
The future looks
bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety
minutes from NewYork to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be
A.O.K.

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be
free

Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The
fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know
we've go to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the
sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets
one for everyone

What a beautiful world this'll be
What a glorious
time to be free

On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by
rail
Ninety minutes from NewYork to Paris
(More leisure for artists
everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows
with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll
be eternally free yes and eternally young

What a beautiful world this'll
be
What a glorious time to be free.....
