Steely Dan - Dr. Wu

 

Katy tried
I was half-way crucified
I was on the other side of no tomorrow
You walked in
And my life began again
Just when I'd spent the last piaster I could borrow
All night long
We would sing that stupid song
And ev'ry word we sang I knew was true

Are you with me, Doctor Wu?
Are you really just a shadow of the man that I once knew?
Are you crazy, are you high or just an ordinary guy?
Have you done all you can do?
Are you with me, Doctor?

[Solo]

Don't seem right
I've been strung out here all night
I've been waiting for the taste you said you'd bring to me
Biscayne Bay
Where the Cuban gentleman sleep all day
I went searching for the song you used to sing to me
Katy lies
You can see it in her eyes
But imagine my surprise when I saw you

Are you with me, Doctor Wu?
Are you really just the shadow of the man that I once knew?
She is lovely, yes, she's sly, and you're an ordinary guy
Has she fin'lly got to you?

Can you hear me, Doctor?
Are you with me, Doctor?
