No.....this is not about the normal re-writing of history we see on here!! It's better!

While working on house project this weekend I heard this song on my Itunes. I played it over and over again I'm not sure why but it seemed the lyrics were wrong!! LOL

So I re-wrote them....hehe, you may want to split the screens so you can see the words and hear the song. \:\)

It's originally "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan.

Here's the Youtube song to go with my lyrics \:\) Funnily enough the youtube video is mostly women!! You'll see...fyi
"standers = us" the "gazing through the glass = my computer screen" I know I know toooo much time on my hands.

This is the day
of my expanding life...
that shape was my shadow
there where I used to stand....

It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through this glass
at standers
crazy answers
thats all in the past

You call me a fool
you think it's a crazy thing...
this ones for real
I've already saw my dream...
so useless to ask me why
I threw him kiss and said good-bye
I'll make it this time...
I'm ready to cross that fine line

I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
drink maritni's all night long
and smile behind the wheel
they got a name for the losers in the world
I want my name when I win
they call Life Crisis the worst of times
Call me feelin fine.....

My back to the wall
a victim of social stance
that isn't for me
I need the essence of true romance
sharing the things I know and love
with those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I walk like a woman
through these suburban streets...
make love to these stars
languid and feelin sweet...
I'll rise when the sun comes up
cover everything in town...
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home....

I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel...
drink maritni's all night long
and smile behind the wheel...
they got a name for the losers in the world
I want my name when I win...
they call Life Crisis the worst of times
call me feelin fine.....

This is the day
of my expanding life...
I'll take one last breath
as I approch the end...
I cried when I redid this song
don't sue me if I was wrong...

This sistah is free!
I'll be what I want to be

I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
drink maritni's all night long
and smile behind the wheel
They got a name for the losers in the world
I want my name when I win
they call Life Crisis the worst of times
call me feelin fine.....
