I wrote this when I was living with a rasta in Toronto who may just be the real King of Kensington Market. I had become the unwilling father of a stray cat who tried her best to drive me crazy via allergies and kitten rambunctiousness.

COW

Words and music by Adam Chew

It gets so hot down on the asphalt

but i’m sitting here freezing my assets

Without my pussycat, don’t know where i’d be at

Just a dog without a master

and the traffic light’s been red for so many stops in a row

that seeing green would be a pasture, and i am a cow

I am a cow eating green green grass

I am a cow a black and white ass

I am a cow just chewing my cud (and making some love)

The prince of pain wears purple

beneath black leather he is hidden

sundry eyes of pale, dark, land gray

hide a head that is on fire

and his third eye’s been red for so many nights in a row

that seeing white would be like heaven, and he is a cloud

He is a cloud up in the sky

he is a cloud flying so high

He is a cloud until he blows of steam (and starts acting real mean)

A little girl wears boy’s blue

beneath black bruises she is pretty

sullen eyes tell a story her mouth will not

for her father’s fury

and her little heart’s been blue for so many beats in a row

that seeing red would be a diamond, and she is a ball

She is a ball bouncing around

she is a ball a nose of a clown

she is a ball just playing in the mud (and having some fun)
