Cowtown lyrics
by They Might Be Giants
[Chorus]
I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean, that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
[Verse 1]
The yellow Roosevelt Avenue leaf overturned
The ardor of arboreality is an adventure we have spurned
We've spurned, a new leaf overturned
Is a new leaf overturned
[Chorus]
And so I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
[Verse 2]
We yearn to swim for home, but our only home is bone
How sleepless is the egg knowing that which throws the stone
Foresees the bone, the bone?
Our only home is bone, our only home is bone
[Chorus]
And so I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
[Chorus]
Yes, I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea
[Refrain]
Yes, I'm gonna see (I'm gonna see)
The cow (the cow)
Beneath the sea
