Girlfriend Lyrics - Steely Dan

Alone in my cave 

It's 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 can't be you 

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to 

I said girlfriend if it can't be you 

Girlfriend if it can't be you 

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to 

I said girlfriend if it can't be you 

Photos 

Dust and despair 

Cobwebs and confusion 

Collecting in the corners of my room 

All of my dreams 

Bitter illusions 

I just can't 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 it's down to you darling 

That's why I'm all 

Girlfriend if it can't be you 

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to 

I said girlfriend if it can't be you 

Girlfriend if it can't be you 

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to 

I said girlfriend if it can't be you 

I'm 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 I'm visualizing a cute little bunny 

With a fluffy white tail and long grey floppy ears 

Who looks up at me and says, doc don't 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 can't be you 

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to 

I said girlfriend if it can't be you 

Girlfriend if it can't be you 

I don't even have anyone to tell my story to 

I said girlfriend if it can't be you
