She said as we pulled to the shoulder He just said, "Go screw" And then he turned and tipped one over Under a spitshine Western sky The color of blue varnish Hey, it's like FelliniActually, I'm thinkin' more like Jim Jarmusch And we can't say how much we've been sippin' But we swear to GodWe saw Lou ReedCow tippin', cow tippin' I got cops on the cell I said, "I got a little story to tellLou Reed is in the cow pen" They said, "Oh, no, not again" And we hope our perceptions isn't slippin' But we swear to GodWe saw Lou ReedCow tippin', cow tippin' Cow tippin', cow tippin' Cow tippin' You really think that was Lou Reed?Cow tippin' I'm sure it was, he was wearing black LevisCow tippin' I thought he was a vegetarian Cow tippin' He's just tippin' them over, he wasn't eating them Cow tippin', oh, cow tippin
