In My Last Life I Was A Cow by Zoli Althea Browne Lyrics
"On the day it wasn’t raining
Seattle’s channels met
They through the bones pigged out on scones with
Dead people they’d all met"
"I had the great misfortune of staying home that day
My future and my past unknown,, better play it all my way"
"I spoke to Joe on Sunday
He said he’d been a saint"
"In 1410 he’d led his men to save the town, that’s quaint"
"Then I called up Lucy
Who said she’d read my chart and she believed I shouldn’t breathe"
"Cause Pluto had squared Mars
My friends have all gone crazy
They swear I’ve gone astray
I clean my house and tend the plow"
"And live just for today
I don’t need no phychic"
"And no channel to tell me how
To love my farmer and just stay warm"
"I’d rather talk to cows
One time I had a concert
All planned out to the max"
"Jeanetta played piano and
Tom was on the fiddle and sax
But silly me, how ignorant to choose the easy way
Jeanetta called said she’d red the cards"
"Tom must stay home that day
My friends have all gone crazy
They shake their heads and pout"
"My spiritual ways seen better days"
"Blame it on them cows
They swear I wasted lifetimes
With my good ole cowgirl ways
Well, I’d rather die in the country high"
"Bluffs"
"Then raise the dead that way
Well, perhaps I’m just too redneck
Not spiritual enough"
"I eat dead pigs and run my rig through fields and over bluffs"
"Who cares what sign the moons in
Or which way the groundhog runs
Cause my mistakes are mine to make
At least I thought ‘em up
My friends have all gone crazy
They swear I’ve gone astray
I clean my house and tend the plow
And live just for the day"
"I don’t want no channel to get people to tell me how"
"To love my farm and just stay warm"
"I’d rather talk to cows"
Seattle’s channels met
They through the bones pigged out on scones with
Dead people they’d all met"
"I had the great misfortune of staying home that day
My future and my past unknown,, better play it all my way"
"I spoke to Joe on Sunday
He said he’d been a saint"
"In 1410 he’d led his men to save the town, that’s quaint"
"Then I called up Lucy
Who said she’d read my chart and she believed I shouldn’t breathe"
"Cause Pluto had squared Mars
My friends have all gone crazy
They swear I’ve gone astray
I clean my house and tend the plow"
"And live just for today
I don’t need no phychic"
"And no channel to tell me how
To love my farmer and just stay warm"
"I’d rather talk to cows
