Medical Science — текст песни (Steely Dan)

My man stanley

Suave but manly

Taking cover from the mark within

Now hes hiding

Pretty soon hes sliding

Looking for a lonely heart to take refuge in



Down the alley

My gal sally

A little bruised and battered maybe from a couple times before

Hold her steady

You know I think shes ready

To climb into the ring and do it all once more



Does it hurt when I do this

Can you laugh when I go like this

All right keep it down

This ones cool for maybe one more round

Just look for big pieces when we sweep up tonight boys



Nobodys going to blame you

Scratch em right off that list

You know medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this

I know youre gonna thank me later

For giving this one a miss

cause medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this



Ivory eddie

Half dead already

But too dumb to lie down or even let a brother know

Troubles cruising

You know eds still using

Never known for passing on a chance to just say "yo"



Little leroy

Eddies homeboy

Still too wet behind the ears to know his right from his wrong

And what big es sporting

Little lee is snorting

Guess ed stopped on his way down to drag the kid along



And all the jiveasses and the true believers

The bullshit givers and receivers

Here today tomorrow gone

To the triage tent in the great beyond

Wherein the angel tangoes with the infidel



Normally Id be angry

Normally Id be pissed

But medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this

Better make mine a double

Serve it up with a twist

cause medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this



Nobodys gonna blame you

Scratch em right off the list

Medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this



I know youre gonna thank me later

For giving this one a miss

cause medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this

Normally Id be angry

Normally Id be pissed

But medical science is helpless

Helpless in a case like this
