Hey, drink your big, black cow...

BLACK COW

In the corner
Of my eye
I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
They saw your face

On the counter
By your keys
Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow

I can't cry anymore
While you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

Down to Greene Street
There you go
Lookin' so outrageous
And they tell you so
You should know
How all the pros play the game
You change your name

Like a gangster
On the run
You will stagger homeward
To your precious one
I'm the one
Who must make everything right
Talk it out till daylight

I don't care anymore
Why you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

1. That song has the longest ending in the whole wide world

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

2. The ending is exactly 1 minute, 14 seconds long

C'Mon now, there have been longer ones, right?

3. I love that song, and that album! Always brings back a bad memory...

When I was in high school, a couple of friends and I got caught smoking pot at a high school basketball game out in the parking lot. We got caught by a NY State Trooper who drove by and saw us. One of my friends grabbed the weed, stuffed it down his pants and took off. The trooper was pissed that he couldn't find anything in the car and had to let us go. (He could smell it, though). He told us he would be calling our parents -- we were scared shitless.

Anyhow, the next night was my girlfriend's birthday and my family invited her to come to dinner and the Ice Capades with us. On the way there (about a 45 minute drive), this Canadian radio station we were listening to played "Aja" in it's entirety. The whole time I'm listening to the music I'm thinking, "I am so dead...I am so dead...I am so dead...).

So, as much as I love that album...I can never listen to it without thinking about smoking pot.
