Текст песни Slang of Ages (Steely Dan) с переводом

Let me put it this way, doll

I know it’s getting late

I can tell from the planes of your face

That you’re from out of state

But here in the Willows, now, here’s the deal

Tomorrow’s for squares, and tonight’s for real

Drop me off in groove time

Do you hear the slang of ages?

Show me how it’s done

Now, did you say you were from the Netherlands

Or was that «nether world»?

If you grew up in Amsterdam

Well, then I’m the Duke of Earl

These tabs look iffy, but you say they’re good

Let’s roll with the homeys and knock on wood

Drop me off in groove time

Soothe me with the slang of ages

Show me where I turn

You are part of the dreaming

The end of my life so far

Or something halfway in between

You ought to know

Where’d you go?

Where’d you go?

Damn, she skipped dimensions

Was it something that I said?

Or something I was thinking

When she opened up my head?

Let me make it right, babe, never mind how

There’s a crazy little place I know called «Be There Now»

Drop me off in groove time

Do you hear the slang of ages?

Show me how it’s done

Drop me off in groove time

Soothe me with the slang of ages

This is where I turn

That’s right

Slang me
