Letra The Great Pagoda Of Funn de Donald Fagen original

The stars are bright tonight
The air is sweet
Though summer's over now
There's a strange new music in the street

You and I
Know the world can't be like this
It's our love that makes it shine

Girl
Whatever trouble waits outside these doors
We're safe inside thsi house of light
We make up our own storyline

Around the neighborhood
They stare and grin
As if they live their lives
Just to help maintin the state we're in
But when we fight
Then those hungry woolves close in
We're one thoughtless word away

From poison skies
And severed heads
And pain and lies
So follow me
I'll hold you tight
And we'll build a life together
In the great pagoda of funn

This magic soon will fade
Without a doubt
We'll have to work my love
Just to keep the flame from going out
Cause if we fail
Then these walls will fall away
And we'll fin we're in the realm

Of psycho-moms
And dying stars
And dirty bombs
Please follow me
And hold me tight
Yes we'll build a world together
In the great pagoda of funn
