A brief musical interlude

[Meg Larson]

Doctor 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 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 that 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?

Katy Lied--Steely Dan, 1975
