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

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?"

    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?
    what are eyes but an aging lens?
    and what am i but an old tin can?"


    [chorus]


    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?"

    +sad bear +a +skippyasqueeze Here's my own take on the lyrics based on what I can hear and what you heard. Thanks everyone!


    Have I got cow eyes? Mama 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, ooo, ooo,

    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
    the more they grow, the more starved shouts
    will dry out in another drought

    is it true that you have been feeling better,
    when you're just tired of the temperate weather?
    put your knees into your chest, do your best to be of good character
    we're just tired of a tempered weather

    la, la, la, la, la, la

    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 now 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's 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, when you're just tired of the temperate weather?
    put your knees into your chest, do your best to be of good character
    we, we're just tired of a tempered weather

    la, la, la, la, la, la

    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?
