The Farm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see this lady took a bite out of you
And you can't go on in this condition
You go blind just tryin' to crawl out of bed
Like you're the sacrifice of superstition
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you can't fight it
Primal scream, she's got the body of sin
Should be a law against such an invention
A little smile to let you see that she knows
And can sense the smell of your intentions
She's so down-hearted, she feeds the want, feeds the need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, now you'll never be the same
Once bitten, it's forever a game, 'cos her heart will resist all penitention
Now you live for just another chance, to her pleasure that's around the nation
She's so down-hearted, she's what you want, what you need
She gets you started, drops the bomb, then she takes you
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you need her love
Higher 'n' higher, she'll leave your dreams in the fast lane
Taking you higher 'n' higher, you can't fight it
Higher 'n' higher
