Barrytown lyrics

Artist  : Steely Dan 
Song : Barrytown



 Send "Barrytown" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I'm not one to look behind I know that times must
change
But over there in Barrytown they do things very
strange
And though you're not my enemy 
I like things like they used to be
And though you'd like some company 
I'm standing by myself
Go play with someone else 

I can see by what you carry that you come from
Barrytown 

Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have
heard 
I just read the Daily News and swear by every
word 
And don't think that I'm out of line 
For speaking out for what is mine 
I'd like to see you do just fine
But look at what you wear 
And the way you cut your hair 

I can see by what you carry that you come from
Barrytown 

In the beginning we recall that the word was
hurled 
Barrytown people got to be from another world 

Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will
meet 
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the
street 
And don't you scream or make a shout 
It's nothing you can do about 
It was there where you came out 
It's a special lack of grace 
I can see it in your face 

I can see by what you carry that you come from
Barrytown
