Dr. Wu

Steely Dan


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?
