Lyrics

Cow

[Verse 1]

Saint of barges

Queen of nails

Sparkling drumsets

And murders of crows

[Verse 2]

Metal teeth of

Carousels

Lighting cigars on

Electric chairs

[Verse 3]

Buildings are rooks

Nature's a vice

Rattle of diesels

Snakes eating their own tails

[Chorus]

Pretty girl milkin' a cow, oh yeah

Pretty girl milkin' a cow, oh yeah

Pretty girl milkin' a cow, oh yeah

Pretty girl milkin' a cow, oh yeah
