Steely Dan - Wet Side Story (live @ Nissan Pavilion - 7.21.1996)

[@Redcrusader]

Good example of the often underrated guitar style of Walter. It's brilliant.

This is my best shot at the lyrics which seem to be about a futuristic drug store called “Steamer Heaven” where our subjects Mickey and Biv Wrangler go to buy some amazing futuristic drugs
Count Mickey gets hungry
Biv Wranglers gotta take a break sometimes
Got to feed the machine
Steamer heaven is empty
A couple of kids in behind the counter
With the lovely Janine
As soon as he walks in the doors he’s smiling
Covers his eyes with his hands
Chorus
Everyone knows that it’s scary out there
When you jump to the wet side
Where it’s colder it’s louder it’s screaming with life
And it’s way complex
Hacking through all the harsh effects
Mick goes for the “bomber”
A couple of rocks with that angel food healing
And the gunk on the top
He gives back Mick a quarter
Intense tears and you can feel the flames arcing
Up and over the shop
For the moment they spun on the edge of history
Fell into animal times
Chorus
Blacked out on the tarmac
It was alive with the sweet sounds of summer
Although the steamers alright
Mick tries to remember
Something kinda cool but it’s already fading
Back to straight black and white
Maybe I needed a hit of downtown
Covers his eyes with his hands
