Fagen Donald Trans-island Skyway Lyrics

Trans-island Skyway Lyrics

I was born yesterday 

 When they brought my Kamakiri 

 When they handed me the keys 

 It's a steam-power 10 

 The frame is out of Glasgow 

 The tech is Balinese 

 It's not a freeway bullet 

 Or a bug with monster wheels 

 It's a total biosphere 

 The farm in the back 

 Is hydroponic 

 Good, fresh things 

 Every day of the year 

 Good, fresh things 

 Every day of the year 

 

 With all screens and functions 

 In sync lock with Tripstar 

 This cool rolling bubble 

 Is all set to samba 

 This route could be trouble 

 (This route could be trouble) 

 

 Chorus: 

 Steamin' up 

 That Trans-Island Skyway 

 Tryin' to make that final deadline 

 And if the lanes are clear 

 We're gonna drive a little harder 

 We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time 

 

 Say, there's a wreck 

 On the side of the road 

 Lots of blood and broken glass 

 The kid who was driving 

 I know from somewhere 

 Some kids just drive too fast 

 Wait just a minute 

 There's a beautiful survivor 

 With dancer's legs and laughing eyes 

 C'mon snakehips, it's all over now 

 Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride 

 

 Relax - put some sounds on 

 I'll brew up some decaf 

 C'mon kick off those heels ma'am 

 Now breathe in and sigh out 

 Let's get with the program 

 (Let's talk about the good times) 

 

 Chorus 

 

 We reach the sprangle 

 Just at dawn 

 These little streets I used to know 

 Is that my father 

 Mowin' the lawn 

 (C'mon daddy get in let's go) 

 C'mon daddy get in let's go 

 C'mon daddy get in let's go 

 C'mon daddy get in let's go 

 C'mon daddy get in let's go 

 C'mon daddy get in let's go 

 C'mon daddy get in let's go 

 

 We pull into Five Zoos 

 Past motels and drive-thrus 

 That noon sun is blinding 

 The tidepools are boiling 

 Below plates are grinding 

 (Let's talk about the good times) 

 

 Chorus
