Lyrics
Taking The Farm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You seem a little on the high side
Disconnected from me
Been a little to anxious and a little too sweet
Have you been chopping down treetops tree after tree
Have you been digging for diamonds at the bottom of the sea
He said I'm taking the farm out from under your knees
Said I'm taking the air and ? the ? upon
Come on meet me where the highways and the one way streets
Come together like the motion
Comes together with my feet
Well top and bottom it's all the same to me
Until all my breathing air is gone
Well you feel it in the ozone zone zone
You can feel it in the knees knees knees
You can feel it in the dirt that's going under your feet
You can feel it in the highways and the one way streets
When you're digging for diamonds at the bottom of the sea
You seem a little on the high side
Disconnected from me
Been a little to anxious and a little too sweet
I'll be chopping down treetops tree after tree
When I'm confusing my highways for a one way street
