You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear

And now I'm stuck in the web
You're spinning
You got me for your prey

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

You're intruding on what's mine
And you're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please let me be

Communication, a telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Now it's gone too deep (now it's gone too deep)
You wake me in my sleep (wake me in my sleep)
My dreams become nightmares (dreams become nightmares)
'Cause you're ringing in my ears
Oh

Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter, matter, matter, matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Ooh, spiderwebs
Leave a message
And I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back

It's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter, matter, matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

It's all your fault
It's all your fault
No matter who calls
No matter who calls
Oh

I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
A-leave a message
And I'll call you back

Oh
It's all your fault
(I'm walking into spiderwebs)
No matter who calls
(Leave a message, and I'll call you back)
I gotta screen my phone calls
(I'm walking into spiderwebs)
It's all your fault
(Leave a message, and I'll call you back)

No matter, matter, matter who calls
(I'm walking into spiderwebs)
I screen my phone calls
(Leave a message, and I'll call you back)
I'm walking into spiderwebs
Leave a message
And I'll call you back

I personally think this particular Steely Dan song sounds completely different than all in their catalogue...especially Donald Fagan's extremely female vocals.

Perhaps utilize your sync button.
 
Bet you if davidharper also paid attention to his shift key he'd have caught his mistake.

Loved this when it came out along with so many other Southern California ska-punk bands. A shame the genre died out so quickly!

The best answer I heard was that the musicians had their whole lives to prepare for their first album. Perhaps they had nothing left for the second album, or maybe the muse just never showed up.

I'm intrigued by people like Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel who made pretty big changes in their musical directions. Then there are artists like the late David Bowie, who pretty much did whatever he wanted -- I think Ashes to Ashes was one of the first music videos, and that was because he wanted to present the song visually, rather than something flip like Doing A Video Was Important.

Hearing the intro to this song brings me back to 1995 and listening to Z100 in NYC every day as a kid.  My first concert ever was the radio station's holiday concert, Jingle Ball, which that year had No Doubt, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Tracy Chapman, among others...

It says that they have a common opinion about this one song. So kind of you to sweep all those "peeps" into one bin with a pejorative label. Really, who's the hater here?

And I quote Michael Stipe " Sometimes there's nothing wrong with a big, fat, pop song."

i haven't heard this in 15 years I would guess, and it sounds good to me. So i can at least say I like to hear this song every 15 years. I however cannot say a more frequent time interval would not change my opinion.

I never heard this on RP before and then I saw it was '04 the last time this was played.  Very Cool to mix it up, Bill !

Oh, that is SO not supposed to happen. This song should play every 10 days or so at the most. Looks like a software glitch made about a half-hour of programming repeat twice. Many apologies. -bg
