Chain Lightning Lyrics by Steely Dan

Showbiz Kids: The Steely Dan Story, 1972-1980

1975

[Verse 1]
Some turn out, a hundred grand
Get with it, we'll shake his hand
Don't bother to understand
Don't question the little man
Be part of the brotherhood
Yes it's, chain lightning
It feels so good

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Hush brother, we cross the square
Act natural like you don't care
Turn slowly and comb your hair
Don't trouble the midnight air
We're standing just where he stood
It was chain lightning

[Outro]
It feels so good
