Lyrics from Genius: 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 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'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?"
My interpretation on lyrics ------ Have I got cow eyes? Mad man 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 nests 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 Drown out another drought(?) - Is it true that you have been through better? We are just tired of temperate loving Pull your knees into your chest, do your best to be a good character We are just tired of temperate loving - Don’t go out in the rain (the rain) You might come home with a hurricane Your poor bird you found yesterday Has gone half bald and now all you can hear it 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 says “What are lips but extensions?” “What are arms but awkward limbs?” “What are eyes but aging lenses?” “And what am I but an old tin can?” - Is it true that you have been through better?

Till the coyote and the cacti are 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?” ------ Notes- “My father, the [fash] has gone astray” I am not exactly sure on if the word used here is “fash” or something else, it is just the closest I could come to. According to a few dictionary sites I’ve been to it can mean something along the lines of “worry, bother, and trouble”. It doesn’t make much sense, but idk, if anyone has anything better for this or any of the other lines or words I have missing, I’ll be happy to make edits to these lyrics.

where would i be without this song
I've been a fan of this song for about 10 years now. Just wanted to drop a note here to say so
i’ve known this song since i was about 13, i’m almost 18 now, and i’m certain i’m gonna end up enjoying it for years and years to come as well

Lyrics from Genius:
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
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'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?"
At first I thought this said "Lyrics from a genius" and couldn't agree more
I love this woman and all she stands for, wish this good stuff was on Spotify, me and my friends play it everyday
this songs like lebron never gets old
What a joyous, beautiful song --- & clever
I think the best part of this is b00ty clap69.
wish they would rerelease this cd
b00tyclap69 is a sweet handle
My interpretation on lyrics
------
Have I got cow eyes?
Mad man 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 nests
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
Drown out another drought(?)
-
Is it true that you have been through better?
We are just tired of temperate loving
Pull your knees into your chest,
do your best to be a good character
We are just tired of temperate loving
-
Don’t go out in the rain (the rain)
You might come home with a hurricane
Your poor bird you found yesterday
Has gone half bald and now all you can hear it 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 says
“What are lips but extensions?”
“What are arms but awkward limbs?” “What are eyes but aging lenses?”
“And what am I but an old tin can?”
-
Is it true that you have been through better?
We are just tired of temperate loving
Pull your knees into your chest,
do your best to be a good character
We are just tired of temperate loving

(Unknown verse)
This is my posterity
My father, the fash 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
Console my brother
Tell my sister please have the car keys to far away
-
And the sun gets awful
While I grow (?)
Till the coyote and the cacti are 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?”

Notes-
“My father, the [fash] has gone astray”
I am not exactly sure on if the word used here is “fash” or something else, it is just the closest I could come to. According to a few dictionary sites I’ve been to it can mean something along the lines of “worry, bother, and trouble”. It doesn’t make much sense, but idk, if anyone has anything better for this or any of the other lines or words I have missing, I’ll be happy to make edits to these lyrics.
the opening line sounds to me like "mama thinks im mad" rather than "madman thinks im mad"

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

***** bretty good. I don't agree with all your changes but you did help with some of them.Thanks.
+skippyasqueeze I'm pretty sure the second part of the first line is "madman thinks that I've gone mad."
+sad bear Hmm possibly, i'd have to see how it fits in my interpretation of the lyrics as a whole
+skippyasqueeze i actually managed to fully transcribe the lyrics as i hear them, here's what i got:
