homeless trees. that's retarded. he says later "cats are gathering outside your window". it's either "homeless strays gathering" or i thought it might have been "open the straits, gather in". either way "homeless trees" is out.

Re: Cowgirl Lyric Query
as for "an eraser of love" i think it's meant to be ambiguous, because in the music video it goes from "an eraser of love" to "razer roulette" and "reason" and then "raisin".

I swear that KH wrote things that were meant to tease the ear... words that intentionally sounded like something else with meaning, while themselves really had no meaning. I mean... you know.... like .... MEANING.....The Mississippi Delta was shinging like a national guitar....

Your rails, your skin, your thin paper wings.... your thin paper wings rattling in the wind....

Re: Cowgirl Lyric Query
I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but the lyrics from the Cowgirl video:



Unlike "eraser/erazor" and "i scream/ice cream", it always says "in two" and not "into" or "in too"

Re: Cowgirl Lyric Query
Not really here to debate but just wanted to say how much I love those lyrics.....your thin paper wings.....hand held candle.....

this is my beatiful dream.....ice cream i scream ice cream i scream so much you know what i mean...........there's just something so timeless about KH's lyrics.....love your work man!

by the way it's definately "flying in two"

And now homeless strays makes so much more sense than homeless trees but then it makes sense....not sure if i like it as much then.....

Re: Cowgirl Lyric Query
Hey is it ..."went and bought a new hat she said.." or is it "went and bought a new head she said" as I've seen it written elsewhere??
