Yeah, Noodle Vague, I read that too. But even if the image of c) is only an auditory hallucination as somebody else on the web said, I'll take it, for the pun on "wages" and the desert connnection. o. nate, have you heard the expression "the wages of sin"?

B-but, who is this "Joachim" they sing about?

My least favourite Steely Dan track ever besides "The Royal Scam". Both are repetitive and boring.

this song is great just for the "they got the Steely Dan t-shirt" and "they don't give a fuck about anybody else" lines!

although ever since I've heard this song the backing refrain has puzzled me. At first I thought it was "outrageous, you know its outrageous"

otm. also the "sleeping with the shade on the light" line.

I hear it as "Blowing life's wages"
