NIGHT BY NIGHT Lyrics

Artist: Steely Dan
Album: Pretzel Logic

It's a beggars life, said the Queen of Spain
But don't tell it to a poor man
'Cause he's got to kill for every thrill
The best he can
Everywhere around me
I see jealousy and mayhem
Because no men have all their peace of mind
To carry them
Well I don't really care
If it's wrong or if it's right
But until my ship comes in
I'll live night by night

When the joker tried to tell me
I could cut it in this rube town
When he tried to hang that sign on me
I said Take it down
When the dawn patrol got to tell you twice
They're gonna do it with a shotgun
Yes, I'm cashing in this ten-cent life
For another one

Well I ain't got the heart
To lose another fight
So until my ship comes in
I'll live night by night

Well I don't really care
If it's wrong or if it's right
But until my ship comes in
I'll live night by night

Comments/Interpretations
by Danny Steel on 5/13/2008 9:20pm Line one should be "Queen of Spades"
by Harl Delos on 2/3/2010 2:53pm It's been almost two years; why haven't you made the correction Danny told you about?
by just some dude on 2/12/2010 3:44pm sounds like 'spain' to me... list in hp's and crank it up...
by Dan Fan #1 on 3/16/2010 7:21pm It's definitely Queen of Spain.
