Time Operator Songtext

von Scott Walker

Moon breathin' in thru' my window
Curtains are sighing dust of the day
Still I'm not alone like all my neighbours say

[Chorus]

Time Operator
Take the time to take the time
To come over here
We got so much in common
Seems it's hard for us to sleep
With all the razzle dazzle in the street
The man come to shut off my water
The man come to shut down my water
The man come to shut down my lights yesterday
I'm not one to moan
I made the bill for the telephone
Now I wouldn't care if you're ugly
'Cos here with the lights out I couldn't see
Just picture Paul Newman
He looks a lot like me

[Chorus]

Time Operator
Take the time to take the time
To come over here
We got so much in common
Seems it's hard for us to sleep
With all the razzle dazzle in the street
