This Isn't Farm Life Lyrics
We're not breaking any records yet
I stare at maps all day, a charade in the sunset
I read the news with all its angles bent
And blame my confusion on designs, so intelligent
Too many things
Too many things to keep my mind on
I was rehearsing for the Iliad
A social seige to end the world
Arrows and bows
Aiming everywhere we go
This isn't farm life, oooh...
I was sleeping in dunes at night, the southernland
By day sail on the cannibal sea
I'm breathing in...this heavy water, oooh...
In my kingdom in my stratosphere
My girl hustles words to fools in particular
And from the safety of an overcoat
She wears a wire that runs all the way to Stockholm
Arrows and bows
Aiming everywhere we go
This isn't farm life, ooh...
An eye for an eye
Under the microscope
A mythic paradise
Another year, another try
On we go, on we go
I stare at maps all day, a charade in the sunset
And blame my confusion on designs, so intelligent
Too many things to keep my mind on
A social seige to end the world
Aiming everywhere we go
By day sail on the cannibal sea
I'm breathing in...this heavy water, oooh...
My girl hustles words to fools in particular
And from the safety of an overcoat
She wears a wire that runs all the way to Stockholm
Aiming everywhere we go
Under the microscope
A mythic paradise
Another year, another try
On we go, on we go

It's about the stresses of city life. That's kind of what their whole new album is about, but the songs bring it out in different ways.
I'm pretty sure it's "I was rehearsing for the Iliad". I like this song.
Yeah, probably. I wasen't sure exactly. Probably because I don't know what that word means. XD Thanks.
