[So on this one-month anniversary of Berkeley 1, I think I've finally nailed down just what this song is about. Honestly, it's been stumping me ever since I first heard it, but then I read that Eddie was a vegetarian so it all kinda started to make sense...]
She had had such a good spot in the pen. She had staked her claim to the wall nearest the trough. None could move her, and she came to be known in the yard as ... Wall King the Cow.
The tragic tale of Wall King the Cow, she's trying to remember, but such uncertainty in her feelings. She's trying to reach out. "Wait!" she wants to say to her friends. But alas, another is zapped in the head, seeing stars. Perhaps that's what happened to her as well? But she knew who she was.
"I'm Wall King the Cow."
No memory of how she got to this haunting place, a foul reek in the air. Why is she staying? She really should be going, back to the pen, the trough. That zap to the head might explain it. She just can't put her hoof on it, so dizzy, as if she's walking in circles. Circles. And then, another of her sisters, zap to the head, seeing stars, toppling over. Such lucky stars in their eyes, they seem to be in such bliss. Sleeping?
"Hey! Joe, get that one back here...."

Trying to remember,
But my feelings can’t know for sure.
Try to reach out
But it’s gone...
Lucky stars in your eyes...
I’m Wall King the Cow...
I really don’t know how I came here...
I really don’t know why I’m stayin’ here...
Oh, Oh, Oh. I’m Wall King the Cow...
Tried to point my finger,
But the wind keeps blowin’ me around
In circles...circles...
Lucky stars in your eyes...
I’m Wall King the Cow...
I really don’t know what I have to fear...
I really don’t know why I have to care...
Oh, Oh, Oh. I’m Wall King the Cow...
Lucky stars in your eyes...
