Farmer in the City Songtext
von 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
Against the
Sky

Every night
I must wonder
Why

Harness on the
Left nail keeps
Wrinkling wrinkling

Then higher above
Me - e e so o
E e e so o o

Can't go by
A man from
Rio

Can't 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
Against our eyes

Every night I
Must realize

Harness on the
Left nail

Keeps withering
Withering

Then higher above
Me - e e so o
E e e so o o

Can't go by
A man in
This shirt

Can′t 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

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
