Biography:
Steely Dan is an American jazz rock band which formed in 1972. The band was formed by Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards) and Walter Becker (guitar, bass), who met in 1967 while both attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and began a songwriting partnership shortly thereafter.
Their music is characterized by dark, witty lyrical narratives, obscure lyrical allusions and complex, jazz-influenced instrumentation and chord sequences, overlying more ordinary popular song structures.

I was scrapin' bottom
Gropin' in the dark
It takes a crusty punk to really beat
Abmaj7 Ab6
The mean streets of Medicine Park
D7
So I shifted left for out of town
Gm Eb7 Eb6
When I clicked my heels and I doubled down to

Blues Beach
I'm frying
Sizzlin' in the merciful rays

I went to Central Station
To catch the early bus
They were gassed and runnin' every which way

But unhappily not for us

Here comes Trina-the child bride

I said hey pretty girl-can I cop a ride to

Blues Beach
It's rainin'
I'm chillin' at the Manatee Bar

Well it's a stone soul picnic

For the early resigned
We could rent a paranymphic glider

My hypothetical friend

Grab Big Dog a blanket
Angel of my heart
Things may get a whole lost worse
Abmaj7 Ab6
Before suddenly falling apart
D7
Give your roommate Yvonne a ring
Gm Eb7
'Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull

some strings

On Blues Beach
I'm dying
Freezin' in the merciful rays

And it's the long sad Sunday
