| Steely Dan – Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I think this from the perspective of a child. Criminals have children too. Daddy has gone out "to see a joker and I'll be right back" Daddy has disappeared. If they knew what happened to daddy they would have said so. Daddy is some sort of criminal and a heavy drinker. He has a piece (Gun) a girl friend called Lucy. I think the line "We know you are smoking wherever you are" is said in innocence by the child but means he is smoking in Hell. |
