*Up on the hill     People never stare     They just don't care     Chinese music under banyan trees     Here at the dude ranch above the sea     Aja     When all my dime dancin' is through     I run to you     Up on the hill     They've got time to burn     There's no return     Double helix in the sky tonight     Throw out the hardware     Let's do it right     Aja     When all my dime dancin' is through     I run to you     Up on the hill     They think I'm okay     Or so they say     Chinese music always sets me free     Angular banjos     Sound good to me     Aja     When all my dime dancin' is through     I run to you* ***********************************************************

I can't say enough about this jazz/rock masterpiece and title cut of one of my essential deserted island scenario albums. It is one of the most incredibly well produced albums...a treat for the ears, mind, and soul.     Listen to Steely Dan's song "Aja" at this link...     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG2seugAgnU     ...and strongly consider purchasing the album... In my opinion, no serious music collection can be complete without it.
