Hop Along - Cow Eyes lyrics
[Hop Along - Cow Eyes lyrics]
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
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
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
La da da da da da da da
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?"
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
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
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

Pull your knees into your chest, do your best
To be of good character
We're just tired of the temperate weather
