Steely Dan - Here At The Western World lyrics

Down at the lido they welcome you With sausage and beer Klaus and the rooster have been there too But lately he spends his time here Hangin' with the mayor and all his friends And nobody cares Where the sailor shuts out the sunrise Blacked out on the stairs Chorus: Knock twice, rap with your cane Feels nice, you're out of the rain We got your skinny girl Here at the western world Ruthie will give you the silver key To open the red door Lay down your jackson and you will see The sweetness you've been cryin' for In the night you hide from the madman You're longing to be But it all comes out on the inside Eventually Chorus In the night you hide from the madman You're longing to be But it all comes out on the inside Eventually Chorus
