Doctor Wu
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Katie lied, i was halfway crucified.
I was on the other side of no tomorrow.
You walked in, and my life began again.
Just when i'd spent the last piaster i could borrow.
All night long we would sing that stupid song.
And every word we sang i knew was true.
Are you with me mr doctor wu?
Are you really just a shadow of the man that i once knew?
Are you crazy?
Are you high?
Or just an ordinary guy?
Have you done all you can do?
Are you with me doctor?
Are you with me doctor?
Don't seem right, i've been strung out here all night.
I was waiting for the taste you said you'd bring to me.
Biscane bay, where the cuban gentleman sleep all day.
I went searching for the song you used to sing to me.
And katie lies.
You can see it in her eyes.
So imagine my surprise when i saw you.
Are you with me mr doctor wu?
Are you really just a shadow of the man that i once knew?
She is lovely.
Yes, she's sly.
And you're an ordinary guy.
Has she finally got to you?
Are you with me doctor?
Can you hurry?
