Everything Must Go (Album Version) - Steely Dan (史提利·丹)

Written by：Donald Fagen/Walter Becker

It's high time for a walk on the real side

Let's admit the bastards beat us

I move to dissolve the corporation

In a pool of margaritas

So let's switch off all the lights

Light up all the luckies

Crankin' up the afterglow

Cause we're goin' out of business

Everything must go

Talk about your major pain and suffering

Now our self esteem is shattered

Show the world a mighty hidey ho face

As we go sliding down the ladder

It was sweet up at the top

'Til that I'll wind started blowing

Now it's cozy down below

'Cause we're goin' out of business

Everything must go

We gave it our best shot

But keep in mind we got a lot

The sky the moon good food and the weather

First run movies does anybody get lucky twice

Wouldn't it be nice

Tell me can you dig it miss fugazy

Now it's gone from late to later

Frankly I could use a little face time

In the service elevator

And if Dave from acquisitions

Wants to get in on the action

With his handicam in tow

Well we're goin' out of business

Everything must go

Can it be the sorry sun is rising

Guess it's time for us to book it

Talk about the famous road not taken

In the end we never took it

And if somewhere on the way

We got a few good licks in

No one's ever gonna know

'Cause we're goin' out of business

Everything must go
