Walter Becker - 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? Then 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 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 [3x]
