Time Operator Lyrics

Scott Walker Time Operator

Moon breathing in through my window...
The curtains are sand, dust of the day.
Oh I'm not alone,
Like all my neighbours say.
Time operator,
Take the time to take the time
To come over here
We've 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 turn off my water
The man come to shut the lights off today
But I'm not one to moan,
I made the bill for the telephone.
And I wouldn't care if you're ugly
'Cause here with the lights off
I couldn't see.
You just picture Paul Newman,
And girl,
He looks a lot like me.
Time operator,
Take the time to take the time
To come over here
