Farmer In The City - Scott Walker

Do I hear 21, 21, 21?

I'll give you 21, 21, 21

Do I hear 21, 21, 21?

I'll give you 21, 21, 21

This night you are mistaken

I'm a farmer in the city

Dark farm houses 'gainst the sky

Every night I must wonder why

Harness on the left nail

Keeps wrinkling, wrinkling

Then higher above me

E e e so o o

Can't go by a man from Rio

Go by a man from Vigo

Can't go by a man from Ostia

Hey, Ninetto

Remember that dream?

We talked about it so many times

Do I hear 21, 21, 21?

I'll give you 21, 21, 21

Do I hear 21, 21, 21?

I'll give you 21, 21, 21

And if I'm not mistaken

We can search from farm to farm

Dark farm houses 'gainst our eyes

Every night I must realize

Harness on the left nail

Keeps withering and withering

Then higher above me

E e e so o o

Can't go by a man in this shirt

Go by a man in that shirt

Can't go by a man with brain grass

Go by his long long eye gas

And I used to be a citizen

And I never felt the pressure

I knew nothing of the horses

Nothing of the thresher

Paolo, take me with you?

It was the journey of a life

Do I hear 21, 21, 21?

I'll give you 21, 21, 21

Do I hear 21, 21, 21?

I'll give you 21, 21, 21
