Katy tried; I was half-way 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 ev'ry word we sang I knew was true Are you with me, 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? [solo] Don't seem right; I've been strung out here all night I've been waiting for the taste you said you'd bring to me Biscayne Bay, where the Cuban gentleman sleep all day I went searching for the song you used to sing to me Katy lies; you can see it in her eyes But imagine my surprise when I saw you Are you with me, Doctor Wu? Are you really just the shadow of the man that I once knew? She is lovely, yes, she's sly, and you're an ordinary guy Has she fin'lly got to you? Can you hear me, Doctor? Are you with me, Doctor?
