Security Joan Lyrics - Morph The Cat - Fagen Donald

Well I guess I needed a miracle 

If I was gonna make my flight 

I had to get to gate C13 

And it was still way out of sight 

Something in my carry on bag 

Tipped off the x-ray machine 

'Cause then an angel straight from heaven 

asked me to 'step behind that screen' 

And when I felt the wand sweep over me 

You know I never felt so clean 

Well you won't find my name on your list 

Honey you know I ain't no terrorist 

Confiscate my shoes, my cellphone 

You know I love you, 

Security Joan 

I hung out at the Starbucks 

'til just around boarding time 

Then I strolled on back to the checkpoint 

Just one thing on my mind 

She flashed that crooked smile and said 

'Well I believe you missed your flight'. 

I said 'There's been a minor change of plan, 

And I'll be stayin' for one more night'. 

I could tell from the way she looked at me 

Everything was gonna be all right 

[Chorus]
