| Steely Dan – Peg Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is a re-assuring ballad written to a blind woman about her first professional bowling tournament where she's also healed from her blindness. The woman's name is of course Peg. Peg arrives at the lanes. Her picture and name in lights are on the TV, but she can't see them so she doesn't smile for the camera. They love it, because she's blind. Then she starts to bowl. She has a good pin shot. She knocks down all the pins, and she smiles, because she can HEAR the pins fall. Then, shock. She's dismayed. She can't find the bowling ball. Peg. It will come back to you! Then, the shutter at the end of the lane falls, and she heals from her blindness, and sees the foreign world in 3-d for the first time, and it's like a movie. |
