Steely Dan - The Royal Scam слова песни
And they wandered inFrom the city of st. johnWithout a dimeWearing coats that shinedBoth red and greenColors from their sunny islandFrom their boats of ironThey looked upon the promised landWhere surely life was sweetOn the rising tideTo new york cityDid they ride into the streetSee the gloryOf the royal scamThey are hounded downTo the bottom of a bad townAmid the ruinsWhere they learn to fearAn angry race of fallen kingsTheir dark companionsWhile the memory ofTheir southern sky was clouded byA savage winterEvery patron saintHung on the wall, shared the roomWith twenty sinnersSee the gloryOf the royal scamBy the blackened wallHe does it allHe thinks hes died and gone to heavenNow the tale is toldBy the old man back homeHe reads the letterHow they are paid in goldJust to babble in the back roomAll night and waste their timeAnd they wandered inFrom the city of st. john without a dimeSee the gloryOf the royal scam
