Steely Dan - Lucky Henry Lyrics
Dusted down in shanty town behind a sky of redHoist upon some frozen dawn exploding in my headFast asleep in trouble deep or wide awake and burningStuck inside some strangers hide whose karma keeps returningWhere you trail that holy grail of darkness and despairWay cross town, now up now down, as though youd really careOn the bus across from us seen once in silhouetteThe old mans face you couldnt place that now you cant forgetDown and dirtyThere you goLucky henry says helloBurned his bridges high and lowAnd down the road and goneIts raining boxcars did you knowFrom county cook to baltimoreWhere ever those old jockeys goTo live out their lifelinesBurning down that two lane town the boys call hollywoodKicked around now lost now found now lost again for goodBadly placed or half erased or lost in space and timeAnd all because the real one was the disappearing kindNow you tumbleNow you knowLucky henry says helloScratched in verses high and lowAnd down to hell and gone Im toldIts raining boxcars thats for sureFrom bakersfield to elsinoreFor all what I care anymoreFor now and forever gone gone gone
