why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
why buy the cow when you can take the milk from me.
bury the sound and the sleep there in your body.
why buy the milk when you can take the cow from me?

i tripped on a stone that said "rent to own"
i hoped for honest toil but the grass was already mown.
you can sleep but you can't sleep there
you'd let your petty snores out and into the air
you were patiently waiting for a meal.
you were anticipating how bad it would feel.
you took a mug shot and you sealed the deal.

why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
why buy the cow when you can take the milk from me.
bury the sound and sleep there in your body.
why buy the milk when you can take the cow from me?

we stripped on a stone that said "everything is known"
we hoped for summer's eve but the leaves were bein blown
you can rake here but you can't wake there
while they let their pretty prayers give their kids a good scare
you were patiently waiting for a case
you were anticipating how awful it'd taste
you shook out a soft pun and it laid you to waste
you took out a shotgun, it blew up in your face.

why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
why buy the cow when you can take the milk from me.
bury the sound and stake there in your body.
why buy the milk when you can take the cow from me?

come on, i knew the room was already booked.
i knew my goose was already cooked.
my mouth was water for the crow i would eat
i'd seen how tenderly you took off her feet
while there's four and twenty blackbirds that i can't forget,
i knead so much dough just to pay the rent.

why buy the cow?
why, by the cow?
why bother with the cow when you're gonna buy the whole farm anyway.

about

falling off a building Columbia, South Carolina

this act began in 2004 and just turned fourteen years old. it's been surviving on the fringes of interest since the day it was first conceived. it's worth doing. it's that thing of realising you are your own best friend and you need to take as good of care of yourself as you possibly can and in so doing you learn to take care of everyone else. ... more
