Black Cow - Steely Dan

In the corner of my eye, I saw you in Rudys'

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 one of these, surely will screen out the sorrow

But where are you tomorrow

I cant 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,

Looking 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 dont 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.

So outrageous, so outrageous
