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 the sorrow

 But where are you tomorrow

 I can't cry anymore

 

 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 Greene 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 till daylight

 

 I don't care anymore

 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
