Lunch With Gina Lyrics by Steely Dan

Lunch With Gina Lyrics

    That must be her again
    She's leaning on my bell
    That cold psychotic brain
    The one I know so well
    So I'm nailed to the floor in the no-option zone
    There's about zero chance she'll give up and go home

    This endless afternoon
    It started on the day I met her
    Lunch with Gina is forever

    She's coming round the corner
    Her body's just a blur
    I peel out like The Flash
    It don't mean boo to her
    So I duck into Nino's—she's barred from the place
    The minute I walk out she's right in my face

    She's got nothing but time
    No use in trying to be clever
    Lunch with Gina is forever

    Now I'm in my apartment
    The blinds down the lights out
    The phone rings God help me
    There's nobody home
    I crouch on the carpet
    Not breathing just being
    Like meat on the bone

    I'm in a cozy booth
    Maybe my watch is fast
    Another Tanqueray
    I'll wait till twenty past
    I'm about to go postal when she waltzes in
    I guess she's a knockout—hey where have I been?

    The waiter never comes
    God knows the service could be better
    Lunch with Gina is forever

    Coffee and a kiss
    Maybe later maybe never
    Lunch with Gina…
