Steely Dan Black Cow lyrics

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 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

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

So outrageous
So outrageous
So outrageous
