She plays the bass guitar
A red and white guitar, for me
While Steely Dan plays in our dreams
Why didn’t she go after me?
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride

Serpents in our hands
Another decade of Steely Dan
But baby I lost your pin shot
But someone gave it back to me
Do you hear me?
Everything will be alright

You know you’re never on my mind
Body’s aching most of the time
Ever since you left this all behind

She plays the bass guitar
We got inside the car to leave
But not before she promised this
The sound of music,
My Beatrice
And she kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye…
