Girlfriend — текст песни (Steely Dan)





Alone in my cave

Its corn flakes and camels

And the long restless shadows of my life

None but the brave

Jim beam and jack daniels

Channelhopping these empty days and nights

Glued to the screen

Rerun by rerun

At the dark outer limits of my soul

Stranded between

The green acres of my good intentions

And the twilight zone of zero self-control



So come on angel

Tune in on me

You ll see your faithful servant

Lost in misery

And all of your hard work

Coming down to no good

Better see about me babe

If you only could now



Girlfriend if it cant be you

I dont even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it cant be you

Girlfriend if it cant be you

I dont even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it cant be you



Dust and despair

Cobwebs and confusion

Collecting in the corners of my room

All of my dreams

Bitter illusions

I just cant be rid of them too soon

Tired of my brain

Tired of this movie

Too tired to get up and shut it off

The time that remains

What good can it do me

Now that I know that too much is not enough

Wait a minute baby

What about my heart

Was it your idea

To take it all apart

And put it all back together

Just one piece at a time

Now its down to you darling

Thats why Im all



Girlfriend if it cant be you

I dont even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it cant be you

Girlfriend if it cant be you

I dont even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it cant be you



Im pullin in a picture now

Up off my back pages

And all at once am privy to

The entire grim design

Of a great civilization

In the terminal stages

Of a slow but steady mental moral spiritual decline

And so it goes

And thus it is written

And all I want to know is

Where does a guy like me fit in?



So Im visualizing a cute little bunny

With a fluffy white tail and long grey floppy ears

Who looks up at me and says, doc dont you worry

All you got to do is, hide in here

Now all you got to do is to just say when

You might consider bringing your sweetness round here again



Girlfriend if it cant be you

I dont even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it cant be you

Girlfriend if it cant be you

I dont even have anyone to tell my story to

I said girlfriend if it cant be you
