| Steely Dan – Janie Runaway Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
An old, rich, idle lecher who's managed to find and reel in an under-aged runaway teenaged girl from Florida, and is still putting the moves on her with promises of the High Life he long ago dropped out of boredom, but now has a reason - child sex - to be interested in again....sailing....painting...trips to Spain. But he's the real deal child molester, taking Janie on the trip to Pennsylvania ( a federal case = crossing state lines with a minor for the purposes of sex) with her new "friend" Melanie so they can have a threesome (trying "new things") at Binky's place. And, of course, if she does it, Janie just might get a trip to Spain out of it... God-damned wonderful Dan. |

All your meanings are accurate. "Papa" may be a reference to Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, Haitian dictator elected into power in 1957. Not really germane to the story, but The Dan often use such references to add color. |
