なんと15年ぶりの作品はライブ盤です。ライブでは再現不可能と言われていた、
SteelyDanサウンドが大規模なツアー（1993年、1994年）で再現された。
日本公演も行われ私も喜び勇んで代々木オリンピックプールへ行きました。ん〜幸せ！




SIGN IN STRANGER ( from The Royal Scam "new lyrics" ) 
Have you heard about the boom on Mizar-5
People got to shout to stay alive
They don't even have policeman one
Doesn't matter where you been or what you've done
Do you have a dark spot on your past
Leave it to my man he'll fix it fast
Pepe has a scar from ear to ear
He will make your mug shots disappear

You zombie
Be born again my friend
Won't you sign in stranger

Do you like to take a yo-yo for a ride
Zombie I can see you're qualified
Walk around collecting Turkish Union dues
They will call you Sir and sign your shoes

Or maybe you would like to see the show
You'll enjoy the Cafe D'Escargot
Folks are in a line around the block
Just to see her do the conch-con-Jacques
                                          
Find your fortune
On your lucky star
Chances are good 
You will fly
If you make it That alive 


BOOK OF LIARS ( From Walter Solo "11 tracks of whack" )

Bye and bye now We'll get over
The things we've done and the tings we said
But not just now when I can't remember
Exactly what it was I thought we had
'Cause I waited so long girl and I came so far
To find out you're not always who you say you are
And there's a star in the bok of liars by your name

Santa Claus came in late last night
Drank on Christomas wine
Fell down hard in the driveway
Hung his bag out on the laundry line
There's a Cobra Gunship for his golden boy
And there's a Hello Kitty for his pride and joy
And a siler star in the book of liars by name
They hung a star in the book of of liars by your name

Stars imploding the long night passing
Electons dancing in the frozen crystal down
Here's one left stranded at the zero crossing
With a hole in it's half-life left to carry on
But now the world's much larger than it looks today
And if my bad luck ever blows me back this way
Then I just look in my book of liara for your name
I'll just in the book of liars for your name
