Century’s End Lyrics by Donald Fagen

Cheap Xmas: Donald Fagen Complete

0

[Verse 1]
Those trucks in the street, is it really Monday?
Time to find some trouble again
Make a bid for romance while the dollar stands a chance
Dumb love in the city at century's end

[Verse 2]
We cut to this blonde dancing on a mirror
There's no disbelief to suspend
It's the dance, it's the dress, she's a concept more or less
Dumb love in the city at century's end

[Bridge]
(At century's end)
Nobody's holding out for heaven
It's not for creatures here below
We just suit up for a game
The name of which we used to know
It might be careless rapture

[Verse 3]
This kid's got the eye, call it pirate radar
Scoping out the room for some trend
But there's nobody new, so she zeros in on you
Dumb love in the city at century's end

[Bridge]
(At century's end)
Nobody's holding out for heaven
It's not for creatures here below
We just suit up for a game
The name of which we used to know
By now it's second nature

[Verse 4]
Scratch the cab, we can grab the local
Let's get to the love scene, my friend
Which means look, maybe touch, but beyond that not too much
Dumb love in the city at century's end
Dumb love in the city

[Outro]
Love in the city at century's end
Love in the city at century's end
Love in the city at century's end
Love in the city at century's end
