Steely Dan – Pretzel Logic Lyrics 7 years ago
Pretzel Logic, a great song but the lyrics seem to have confused a few.

It is about TIME TRAVEL.

Donald Fagen, in an interview said, " I stepped on the platform / the man gave me the news - we conceived the 'platform' as a teleportation device"

"The man gave me the news" - the protagonist has looked at the date on a newspaper - different from the time he just left.

Fagen also said, " And there are other key lines like, 'I've never met Napoleon, but I plan to find the time'. What we're actually saying is I plan to find the time that he lived in".

A great song.
