Almost Gothic Lyrics by Steely Dan

Two Against Nature

2000

[Verse 1]
I'm working on gospel time these days
(The summer, the summer, this could be the cool part of the summer)
The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room, she's so severe
A wise child walks right out of here
I'm so excited I can barely cope
I'm sizzling like an isotope
I'm on fire so cut me some slack

[Refrain]
First, she's way gone, then she comes back
She's all business, then she's ready to play
She's almost gothic in a natural way

[Verse 2]
This house of desire is built foursquare
(The city, the city, the cleanest kitten in the city)
When she speaks it's like the slickest song I've ever heard
I'm hanging on her every word
As if I'm not already blazed enough
She hits me with the cryptic stuff
That's her style—to jerk me around

[Refrain]
First, she's all feel, then she cools down
She's pure science with a splash of black cat
She's almost gothic and I like it like that

[Bridge]
This dark place, so thrilling and new
It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view
Unless I'm totally wrong
I hear her rap and, brother, it's strong

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies
But I just stand there hypnotized
I'll just have to make it work somehow
I'm in the amen corner now
It's called love—I spell L-U-V

[Refrain]
First, she's all buzz, then she's noise-free
She's bubbling over, then there's nothing to say
She's almost gothic in a natural way
She's old school, then she's, like, young
Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat
She's almost gothic but it's better than that
