Cow Eyes

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
They move out west
Want to build
The softest nest
And some will do
Their very best
So their sweet babies can rest

And wild rice, that grows down south
May avoid the hungry mouth
The 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, we're just
Tired of the temperate weather

La, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

So you 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? Oh
Well, you're just
Tired of the temperate weather
Pull your knees into your chest
Do your best to be of good character
We, we're just
Tired of the temperate weather

La, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

Dear grand jury
This is my bad 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's too far away

And the sun cuts awful
While I grew unthoughtful
Till the coyotes and the cacti
Were all coming out to sing, and they said:

"Is something, wrong?
Is something wrong? Oh-oh
Is something
Is something wrong? Oh-oh
Is something
Is something wrong? Oh, oh-oh
Is something
Is something wrong?
Hmm-mm"
