Almost Gothic Lyrics by Steely Dan

Almost Gothic Lyrics

    I'm working on gospel time these days
    (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

    CHORUS:
    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

    This house of desire is built foursquare
    (The city - the cleanest kitten in the city)
    When she speaks it's like the slickest song I 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

    CHORUS:
    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

    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

    CHORUS:
    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
