Almost Gothic Lyrics - Steely Dan

I'm working on gospel time these days 

(Summer, the summer 

This could be the cool part of the summer) 

The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room, she's so severe 

A wise child walks right out of here 

I'm so excited I can barely cope 

I'm sizzling like an isotope 

I'm on fire, so cut me some slack 

First she's way gone, then she comes back 

She's all business, then she's ready to play 

She's almost Gothic in a natural way

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

This house of desire is built foursquare 

(City, the city 

The cleanest kitten in the city) 

When she speaks, it's like the slickest song I've ever heard 

I'm hanging on her every word 

As if I'm not already blazed enough 

She hits me with the cryptic stuff 

That's her style, to jerk me around 

First she's all feel, then she cools down 

She's pure science with a splash of black cat 

She's almost Gothic, and I like it like that 

This dark place, so thrilling and new 

It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view 

Unless I'm totally wrong 

I hear her rap, and, brother, it's strong 

Photos 

I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies 

But I just stand there hypnotized 

I'll just have to make it work somehow 

I'm in the amen corner now 

It's called love, I spell L-U-V 

First she's all buzz, then she's noise-free 

She's bubbling over, then there's nothing to say 

She's almost Gothic in a natural way 

She's old school, then she's, like, young 

Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat 

She's almost Gothic, but it's better than that
