| Steely Dan – Dont Take Me Alive Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I always thought this song was steely dan's "wtf"....what is going through this poor dude's head as he winds up in a bank or someplace similar holding off a swat team with his case of dynamite? He's thinking on the one hand he's just a normal guy from Oregon, but something happened there to put him on the wrong path...he saw no road signs to serve him better (no red lights flashing). By the end of the song he is realizing he is the kind of in-human monster who would kill people with a bomb (I know what I've done, I know all at once who I am)and does see how he got there,but sees no other way out but "dont take me alive." I definitely agree that the guitar makes this song, it would not have the same impact without it. | |
