The Cow
words and music Stephen Barling
warren took a pummeling
played it on guitar
jesus blew off everyone he knew
like a shiny superstar
stuart stole a pocketwatch
hung it on his face
left behind the graceful thing he loved
and led on with his bass
and all their magic power led me home
and all their power led me home
and all their power led me home
stephen was a miscreant
spewing teeth and blood
and all the magic armies of the mind
suddenly returned
ashley was the only one
didn't give a damn
through all the ites and tribulated waters
still he was the man, still he was the man
and all their magic power led me home
and all their power led me home
and all their power led me home
betty was a crippled cow
once she'd lost the leg
i didn't want to take my razor out
or listen to her beg
open drops of glistening water
