Negative Girl

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




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 origina
