Wheat Kings
Gordon Downie, Gordon Sinclair, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, Robert Baker
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies
Wheat kings have all treasures buried
And all you hear are the rusty breezes
Pushing around the weathervane Jesus
His Zippo lighter, he sees the killer's face
Maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place
Twenty years for nothing, well, that's nothing new
Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do
Wheat kings and pretty things
Let's just see what the morning brings
There's a dream he dreams where the high school's dead and stark
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark
The walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister
Hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers
Wheat kings and pretty things
Wait and see what tomorrow brings
Late breaking story on the CBC
A nation whispers, "We always knew that he'd go free"
They add, "You can't be fond of living in the past
'Cause if you are, then there's no way that you're gonna last"
Wheat kings and pretty things
Let's just see what tomorrow brings
Wheat kings and pretty things
Oh, that's what tomorrow brings
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies
Tramonto nella Parigi delle praterie
Wheat kings have all treasures buried
I re del grano hanno tutti i tesori sepolti
And all you hear are the rusty breezes
E tutto ciò che senti sono le brezze arrugginite
Pushing around the weathervane Jesus
Che spingono in giro il gallo di Gesù
His Zippo lighter, he sees the killer's face
Il suo accendino Zippo, vede il volto dell'assassino
Maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place
Forse è qualcuno che si trova al posto di un assassino
Twenty years for nothing, well, that's nothing new
Venti anni per niente, beh, non è nulla di nuovo
Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do
Inoltre, a nessuno interessa qualcosa che non hai fatto
Wheat kings and pretty things
Re del grano e cose carine
Let's just see what the morning brings
Vediamo solo cosa porta la mattina
There's a dream he dreams where the high school's dead and stark
C'è un sogno che sogna dove il liceo è morto e spoglio
It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark
È un museo e siamo tutti rinchiusi al suo interno dopo il tramonto
The walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister
Le pareti sono tutte gialle, grigie e sinistre
Hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers
Appese con foto dei primi ministri dei nostri genitori
Wheat kings and pretty things
Re del grano e cose carine
Wait and see what tomorrow brings
Aspetta e vedi cosa porta domani
