Fagen Donald - "COUNTERMOON" lyrics

On a night like this You look up at your lover It's like you're in some old cartoon Up in the sky Then you detect The scent of faded roses There's that cruel countermoon Could that be murder you see in her eyes You can't escape it You try a long and desperate kiss Chorus: That beam is sure to find you On a night like this The story is told How the women get restless And the men grow cold Gotham shudders There's a chill in the air There's a countermoon Lovers all beware Hand in hand You stop to clutch and caress You walk along the river A countermoonbeam Comes sweeping off the water She says "You're not my Jackie. My Jackie was the best." Spitewaves are threatening The seaside hotels Tonight you wonder why It's nasty weather for July Last night you loved her Chorus At every pay phone There's somebody cryin' All the streets are slick with tears There's a heartquake on the way When you see that blue ray Chorus
