Heh: I'll tell you what it means. The famous composer of Steely Dan's most blatant song about interracial sex, "Babylon Sisters", has finally come out of the closet with these lyrics as a lover of black women. Here, Donald Fagen is addressing an African-American woman he's given money to, and lusts after, and is presumably doing, and dates, but notices she becomes "uncomfortably black" after having a drink.
Sorry, but this song wasn't written by Fagan (see top of lyric sheet for writing credit). Further, I don't believe Babylon mentions anything about race at all. Thanks for playing tho.

@heatherfer - not that its not true that Fagen probably is "into the sistas". I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case. ;)
