Began this take at 7:38
Head hit the board, enough that it aches
Wonder should I be working so late

Well the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Hey-ey-ee
Nothin' ever stays the same
Went outside to give all a break
Wearin' cowhide, steak on a skate
Back inside, sam, throw away your cake
Went outside to give all a break

Nothin' (nothin')
No
Gotta finish so I can awake
Feed the cat as she spreads all the waste
Snap her neck or trade in for new make

"REVOLVER: it sounds like some of the guys felt your indulgences were getting in the way of the band.
STALEY: I got things done, didn’t I? I’d show up five hours late to band practice with no lyrics, and they’d yell at me and I’d leave. But I’d come back and do it all late at night. In the end, all the songs got finished."
Basically, Layne just wrote random lyrics to a song done, period. When I hear this song I always think of the scenario Layne described above (showing up to practice, probably strung out, with no lyrics....getting into a fight with the band members and storming off.....coming back and writing these nonsensical and arbitrary lyrics late at night).
I'd LOVE to see Jerry's reaction to hearing these lyrics for the first time...lol.
I thought the line was "Wearing cowhide, steak on a steak" . that makes more sense to me.
He desprately wants to get it finished, so he can forget about.
Whaaheee, thoughts scrambled like eggs...
