Taking the Farm Songtext
von The War on Drugs

You seem a little on the high side
Disconnected from me
Been a little too 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 rag that you′re bleeding 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, when it's all the same to me
'Till all my breathing air is gone

Well, you feel it in the ozone, 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 in 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 too anxious
And a little too sweet
But I'll be chopping down treetops
Tree after tree
When I′m confusing my highways
For a one way street
