John Linnell: "Bill Krauss on reverb"

The sky was all purple

(??????????????)

What's up (???)!

(??????????????)

Two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

Two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

(??????????????)

Sky was all purple!

(??????????????)

WHATCHOO SAY?!?!

(??????????????)

Sky was all purple!

(????????????)

Two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

Two thousand zero, zero, party over,
Oops, out of time!
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

JL: "Let's take a little trip now, down to a place called 'Cowtown.'"

I'm going down to Cowtown
The cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves
And that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

The yellow Roosevelt Avenue leaf overturned
The ardor of arboreality is an adventure we have spurned, we've spurned
A new leaf overturned
It's a new leaf overturned

And so I'm going down to Cowtown
The cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves
And that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

Ohhh

We yearn to swim for home, but the only home is bone
How sleepless is the egg knowing that which throws the stone
Foresees the bone, the bone
The only home is bone
The only home is bone

And so I'm going down to Cowtown
The cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves
And that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

JL: Where am I going, John?

I'm going down to Cowtown
The cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves
And that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

Yes I'm gonna see (I'm gonna see)
The cow (the cow)
Beneath the sea
