Donald Fagen Century S End lyrics

Those trucks in the street
Is it really Monday
Time to find some trouble again
Make a bid for romance
While the dollar stands a chance
Dumb love in the city at century`s end

We tap to this line
Dancing on a mirror
There`s no disbelief to suspend
It`s the dance, it`s the dress
She`s a concept more or less
Dumb love in the city at century`s end

(At century`s end)
Nobody`s holding out for heaven
It`s not for creatures here below
We just suit up for a game
The name of which we used to know
It might be careless rapture

This kid`s got the eye
Call it pirate radar
Scooping out the roof for some trend
But there`s nobody new
So she zeroes in on you
Dumb love in the city at century`s end

(At century`s end)
Nobody`s holding out for heaven
It`s not for creatures here below
We just suit up for a game
The name of which we used to know
By now it`s second nature

Scratch the camera
We can grab the locals
Let`s get to the love scene, my friend
Which means look, maybe touch
But beyond that not too much
Dumb love in the city at century`s end
Dumb love in the city

Love in the city at century`s end
Love in the city at century`s end
Love in the city at century`s end
Love in the city at century`s end
