mutilated cow head

well you walked in the room
hands down in your pocket
saying "i'm leaving this mess today"
and while i began to cry
began to feel you leaving
this mess of mutilated cow head
the rooster's coming home to roost now
and the world isn't as beautiful as you and i
can't you feel it

as you caressed my broken and hardened face
on the red meat cutter
silvery grey
it's slice with delicate fury
the meat we share today
the meat that keeps the passion alive
great mutilated cow head
divorce our feelings and throw me away
and all i ever wanted was for this head to stay
stay with us forever

and i saw you walk out the front door
head high up to the clouds
up to the sky
smiling as the rain fell
fall on your perfect face
washing away the blood and the stains
of mutilated cow head
and the rooster has finally found his place here
and the world isn't as precious as you and i
can't you feel it
