| | Don't Take Me Alive Lyrics Artist(Band):Steely Dan
Luckless pedestrian I know you're out there With rage in your eyes and your megaphones Saying all is forgiven Mad Dog surrender How can I answer A man of my mind can do anything CHORUS: I'm a bookkeeper's son I don't want to shoot no one Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Got a case of dynamite I could hold out here all night Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Can you hear the evil crowd The lies and the laughter I hear my inside The mechanized hum of another world Where no sun is shining No red light flashing Here in this darkness I know what I've done I know all at once who I am CHORUS If you find some error in Don't Take Me Alive Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Don't Take Me Alive Donald Fagen has strange friends | Reviewer: Lynn B. Meyer | 10/3/2006 In 1979 a Portland, Oregon radio station did a show on Steely Dan and explained that the song "Don't Take Me Alive" was about a friend of Donald Fagen who had killed his parents in Eugene and refused to be arrested and holed up in his house with a gun. They didn't say whether or not he also had dynamite in that residence. I never read a story about it in the newspapers since I wasn't in Oregon at the time. Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Don't Take Me Alive | Reviewer: Lynn B. Meyer aka Ronald James Scheller | 9/7/2005 I am an accountant's son from Portland, Oregon. On February 13, 1973 I got in a police shootout in Seattle, WA. A search of my Ballard residence yielded a 68-stick dynamite bomb wired for detonation. Donald Fagen was from Seattle, WA. The case was highly publicized in the Seattle Times http://www.dynamitebomb.blogspot.com Is this all a coincidence? Perhaps Mr. Fagen had subconscious inspiration from the Seattle newspapers when he wrote Don't Take Me Alive. Is this review helpful to you?
