Saint of barges
Queen of nails
Sparkling drumsets
Metal teeth of carousels
Buildings are rooks
Nature's a vice
Snakes eating their own tales
-All seem to be relating beautiful or extraordinary things to the mundane.
"Murders of crows" was mentioned in Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' song "The Carney". I can't see any connection there,
though.
The chorus, "Pretty girl milkin' a cow" might have roots in the old Irish folk song "A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow", but I don't see any connection there, either.
Well, I gave it my best shot.
This song has such a great jam to it.
Mark Linkous, your lyrics will remain a mystery.
RIP
