Steely Dan

Katy tried, I was halfway 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 every 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?

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 gentlemen 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 a shadow

Of the man that I once knew?

She is lovely, yes, she's sly

And you're an ordinary guy

Has she finally got to you?

Can you hear me, Doctor?

Are you with me, Doctor?

Can you hear me, Doctor?

Are you with me, Doctor?

Can you hear me, Doctor?

Are you with me, Doctor?
