Lyrics Caves Of Altamira - Donald Fagen, Walter Becker

Caves Of Altamira

Daytime you’re too proud to brag about the badge you wore
Nighttime you’re too tired to drag your chains across the floor
All your guns are gone I’m told or in the aerodrome
Did you die the day they sold the ones you left at home?
Hold my hand in the Android Warehouse
Who’s to know if you take a dive?
Ain’t life grand in the Android Warehouse?
What a burner when you take off your goggles and find
That you’re alive
That you’re alive
Did you really gobble up the things they claim you ate?
Were you fit to swallow it or scared to clean your plate?
Have you tried to calculate the hours they’d applaud?
I would guess it’s somewhat less for just another fraud
Hold my hand in the Android Warehouse
Who’s to know if you take a dive?
Ain’t life grand in the Android Warehouse?
What a burner when you take off your goggles and find
That you’re alive
That you’re alive
That you’re alive…
