Steely Dan - Girlfriend Lyrics
Alone in my caveIts corn flakes and camelsAnd the long restless shadows of my lifeNone but the braveJim beam and jack danielsChannelhopping these empty days and nightsGlued to the screenRerun by rerunAt the dark outer limits of my soulStranded betweenThe green acres of my good intentionsAnd the twilight zone of zero self-controlSo come on angelTune in on meYou ll see your faithful servantLost in miseryAnd all of your hard workComing down to no goodBetter see about me babeIf you only could nowGirlfriend if it cant be youI dont even have anyone to tell my story toI said girlfriend if it cant be youGirlfriend if it cant be youI dont even have anyone to tell my story toI said girlfriend if it cant be youDust and despairCobwebs and confusionCollecting in the corners of my roomAll of my dreamsBitter illusionsI just cant be rid of them too soonTired of my brainTired of this movieToo tired to get up and shut it offThe time that remainsWhat good can it do meNow that I know that too much is not enoughWait a minute babyWhat about my heartWas it your ideaTo take it all apartAnd put it all back togetherJust one piece at a timeNow its down to you darlingThats why Im allGirlfriend if it cant be youI dont even have anyone to tell my story toI said girlfriend if it cant be youGirlfriend if it cant be youI dont even have anyone to tell my story toI said girlfriend if it cant be youIm pullin in a picture nowUp off my back pagesAnd all at once am privy toThe entire grim designOf a great civilizationIn the terminal stagesOf a slow but steady mental moral spiritual declineAnd so it goesAnd thus it is writtenAnd all I want to know isWhere does a guy like me fit in?So Im visualizing a cute little bunnyWith a fluffy white tail and long grey floppy earsWho looks up at me and says, doc dont you worryAll you got to do is, hide in hereNow all you got to do is to just say whenYou might consider bringing your sweetness round here againGirlfriend if it cant be youI dont even have anyone to tell my story toI said girlfriend if it cant be youGirlfriend if it cant be youI dont even have anyone to tell my story toI said girlfriend if it cant be you
