Negative Girl Lyrics - Steely Dan

She's lost - she's late 

She's zooming on a couch somewhere 

Or high - or home 

I'm not supposed to call her there 

I wait - I smoke 

I stare into my coke 

It's happening again 

I tell myself that it's over and done, amen 

Her skin - like milk 

It's like she's never seen the sun 

Some hearts to crunch 

Is more like her idea of fun 

I know - she's ill 

I'm cruising for a spill 

I'm hanging just the same 

I need to be in the heat 

Of her cold white flame

CHORUS: 

Another negative girl 

At the edge of the frame 

Deliciously toxic 

The original classic thing - more of the same 

She's in the zone 

Crying on the phone 

I need you here 

I'm on the street again 

Staggering out into the burn of the brain dead dawn 

To arrive in time to find her gone 

She's on the train 

To somewhere up by Fordham Road 

Her reptile brain 

Locked down and ready in combat mode 

Some cash - a key 

This guy she has to see 

A doctor friend uptown 

And maybe she gets to me when she comes back down 

Photos 

CHORUS: 

Another negative girl 

Spinning out of the frame 

Exquisitely limpid 

The original classic thing - more of the same 

A goof - a buzz 

If that is what it was 

Then how do you explain 

The way she looks when she's 

Dragging me out to dance with her 

In the summer rain 

CHORUS: 

Another negative girl 

At the edge of the frame 

Exhausting and luscious 

The original classic thing - more of the same
