Cow Eyes
(专辑: Is Something Wrong? - 2009)
Have I
got cow eyes? Madman thinks I'm mad Bums, they say: "it's not so bad" Well the
weather's fine, it hasn't rained When it does I'll just lay down again And prairie dogs that live out west Want to build the
softest nest Some will do their very best So their sweet babies can rest And wild rice that grows down south May avoid the
hungry mouth They more they grow, the
more starved shouts Will dry out in another drought Is it true that you have been feeling better? Well, you're just tired of the
temperate weather Pull your knees into your chest, do your best To be of good character We're just tired of the
temperate weather Don't go out in the
rain, the
rain You might come home with wet hair and a
cane Your poor bird you found yesterday Has gone half bald, and all you can hear him say is: I
love you, I
do, I
do I
love you, my darling, so true I
love you, I
do, I
do I
love you, big water so blue Husband says to wife in bed: "Will you still kiss me when we're dead?' She said: "What are lips but extensions? What are arms but awkward limbs? What are eyes but an aging lens? And what am I
but an old tin can?" Is it true that you have been feeling better? Well, you're just tired of the
temperate weather Pull your knees into your chest, do your best To be of good character We're just tired of the
temperate weather Dear grand jury, this is my sad story My father, the
flesh, has gone astray He said "don't get married Or start a
family Cause they are just children, they will die someday" So please hold my mother Console my brother Tell my sister, please Albuquerque is too far away And the
sun was awful As I
grew unthoughtful 'Til the
coyotes and the
cacti Were all coming out to sing And they say: "Is something wrong?" "Is something "Is something wrong?"
