Steely Dan - Black Cow lyrics

rate me

In the corner

Of my eye

I saw you in Rudy's

You were very high

You were high

It was a cryin' disgrace

They saw your face

On the counter

By your keys

Was a book of numbers

And your remedies

One of these

Surely will screen out the sorrow

But where are you tomorrow

I can't cry anymore

While you run around

Break away

Just when it

Seems so clear

That it's

Over now

Drink your big black cow

And get out of here

Down to Greene Street

There you go

Lookin' so outrageous

And they tell you so

You should know

How all the pros play the game

You change your name

Like a gangster

On the run

You will stagger homeward

To your precious one

I'm the one

Who must make everything right

Talk it out till daylight

I don't care anymore

Why you run around

Break away

Just when it

Seems so clear

That it's

Over now

Drink your big black cow

And get out of here
