We were drivin through West Texas
Kami sedang berkendara melalui Texas Barat
The land of beef and pork
Tanah daging sapi dan babi
Where they tend the hides of leather
Di mana mereka mengolah kulit untuk dijadikan kulit
We wear back in New York
Yang kami pakai kembali di New York
In a pasture, along a roadside
Di padang rumput, di tepi jalan
Behind a brokedown shack
Di belakang gubuk yang sudah reyot
On a dusky side of evening
Di sisi senja yang kelam
We saw a figure dressed in black
Kami melihat sosok berpakaian hitam

And we don't mean to sound like we're trippin
Dan kami tidak bermaksud terdengar aneh
But we swear to God
Tapi kami bersumpah demi Tuhan
We saw Lou Reed cow tippin
Kami melihat Lou Reed menjatuhkan sapi
Cow tippin
Menjatuhkan sapi

Hey Lou, "Is that you?"
Hei Lou, "Itu kamu?"
She said as we pulled to the shoulder
Kata dia saat kami berhenti di pinggir jalan
He just said, "Go screw."
Dia hanya bilang, "Pergi sana."
And then he turned and tipped one over
Lalu dia berbalik dan menjatuhkan satu sapi
Under a spitshine Western sky
Di bawah langit Barat yang berkilau
The color of blue varnish
Berwarna seperti pernis biru
Hey it's like Fellini
Hei, ini seperti film Fellini
Actually I'm thinkin more like Jim Jarmusch
Sebenarnya, aku lebih berpikir seperti Jim Jarmusch

And we can't say how much we've been sippin
Dan kami tidak bisa bilang sudah berapa banyak kami minum
But we swear to God
Tapi kami bersumpah demi Tuhan
We saw Lou Reed cow tippin
Kami melihat Lou Reed menjatuhkan sapi
Cow tippin

I got cops on the cell
Aku punya polisi di telepon
I said I got a little story to tell
Aku bilang aku punya sedikit cerita untuk diceritakan
Lou Reed is in the cow pen
Lou Reed ada di kandang sapi
They said, Oh no! Not again!
Mereka bilang, Oh tidak! Tidak lagi!

And we hope our perceptions isn't slippin
Dan kami berharap persepsi kami tidak meleset
But we swear to God
Tapi kami bersumpah demi Tuhan
We saw Lou Reed cow tippin
Kami melihat Lou Reed menjatuhkan sapi
Cow tippin
