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
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?
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?"

Hop Along Cow Eyes Comments
I love this woman and all she stands for, wish this good stuff was on Spotify, me and my friends play it everyday
What a joyous, beautiful song --- & clever
Have I got Cow Eyes (?) 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
Some will do their very best
so their sweet babies can rest
And while race the goose down south
may avoid the hungry mouth
the more they grow the more starve shouts so
try hard to get another trout
Is it true that you have been through better when youre just a
tired love a tender lover
put your knees into your chest do your best to be a good caretaker
you're just tired love
a tender lover
la la la la la la
So you go out in the rain the rain
you might come home with a heron (and a cane)
the poor bird you found yesterday
you have found half bald and now
you can't hear it say
I love you I do I do
I love you I died so true
I love you I do I do
I love you Big Water's so Blue
Husband says to wife in bed, "Will you still kiss me when we're dead?"
She says
"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 through better Oh youre just a
tired love a tender lover
put your knees into your chest do your best to be a good caretaker
you're just tired love
a tender lover
la la la la la la
(?)
This is my posterity
My father the flesh has gone away
He says “ Don't get married or start a family
cuz they are just children they will die some day”
So please hold my mother control my brother's tongue my sister please I'll (?) to find a way
and the sun cuts off well I grow unfaithful and the coyote and cacti are coming out the see
and they say
Is something,
Is something wrong?
Is something
Is something wrong?
Is something
Is something wrong?
Is something,
Is something wrong?
+skippyasqueeze i actually managed to fully transcribe the lyrics as i hear them, here's what i got:
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
oooh ooh oioh
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
[chorus]
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?

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
how the car keys fell 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?"

Dear Grand Jury, this is my bad story
my father, the flesh, has gone astray
he says: "don't get married
or start a family
'cause they are just children, they will die someday"
So please hold my mother,
consort my brothers,
tell my sister please
[?] oh, the car keys fell far away
and the silence gets awful
while I grow unthoughtful
tell the coyotes and the cacti
we're all coming out to sing
and they'll say:
Is something,
Is something wrong?
Is something
Is something wrong?
Is something
Is something wrong?
Is something,
Is something wrong?
