Black Cow
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 of sorrow
But where are you tomorrow
I can't cry anymore
While you run around
(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 green street
There you go
Lookin' so outrageous
And they tell you so
(You should know)
How all the pros play the game
(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 'til daylight
I don't care anymore
Why you run around
(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
(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
So outrageous
So outrageous
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 of sorrow
But where are you tomorrow
I can't cry anymore
While you run around
(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 green street
There you go
Lookin' so outrageous
And they tell you so
(You should know)
How all the pros play the game
(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 'til daylight
I don't care anymore
Why you run around
(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
(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
So outrageous
So outrageous
