Cowgirl Lyric Query
For ages I've always assumed the lyric to be
"Why don't you come out I feel like flying in twos"

whereas a friend (and most lyric sites online) are claiming it to be
"Why don't you call me I feel like flying in two"

does anyone else have any other interpretations?

Re: Cowgirl Lyric Query
you'll never win this one.

I can't help but hear "homeless strays, gathering..." in Juanita even though the consensus is "homeless trees". You'll go in circles. Save yourself now! :P

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's "flying in two". Especially since on this tour, on the shadow screen, Karl specifically held up two fingers (like scissors) every time he sang "two."

'Homeless strays' makes more sense in the context of the full lyric - 'cats are gathering outside your window, homeless strays'.

But who really gives a shit, it's all about what you take from the song on a personal level. And Karl's barely intelligible on a lot of tracks, anyway xD

Re: Cowgirl Lyric Query
haha, where were you all 5 years ago when I felt like I was nuts for suggesting 'strays'??

also, i think its "feel like flying in two" -- I too have seen the 'two fingers' during some shows.
