Steely Dan - On The Dunes - Текст песни

Drive along the sea 
Far from the city's twitch and smoke 
To a misty beach 
That's where my life became a joke 

On the dunes 
On the dunes 
(Became a joke on the dunes) 
Where rents are high 
And seabirds cry 
On the dunes 

As you spoke you must have known 
It was a kind of homicide 
I stood and watched my happiness 
Drift outwards with the tide 

On the dunes 
On the dunes 
(Homicide on the dunes) 
It wasn't fair 
It's brutal there 
On the dunes 

Pretty boats 
Sweeping along the shore 
In the faltering light 
Pretty women 
With their lovers by their side 
It's like an awful dream 
I have most every night 

In the summer all the swells 
Join in the search for sun and sand 
For me it's just a joyless place 
Where this loneliness began 

On the dunes 
On the dunes 
(Loneliness on the dunes) 
I'm pretty tough 
But the wind is rough 
On the dunes
