my take on "scar from ear to ear" is that this is a criminal who committed a crime and can be identified by his mug shot. a scar is often a recognizable feature in identification used by law enforcement. a" scar from ear to ear" is his FACE, now that someone has i.d.ed him. making your mug shot disappear may refer to actually getting the mug shot removed from the files, but i like to think it refers to getting plastic surgery to make the mug shot no longer useful. fits in with the line "dark spot on your past" as well. just my 2 cents. steely dan are my all time favorite artists. |
