- NICK CAVE - Fable Of The Brown Ape Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Farmer Emmerich went into his barn
- And found a cow suckling a serpent
- And a brown ape clanking a heavy chain
- Said Farmer Emmerich to the ape
- Never ask me to come into this barn again
- So Long
- Farewell
- So Long
- Farmer Emmerich caught the serpent
- And the brown ape in a cage
- And took them into his house
- He fed the snake a vat of milk
- And when the ape rattled its chain
- He tossed the ape a mouse
- So Long
- Goodbye
- Farewell
- The villagers found out that Farmer Emmerich
- Was nurturing a serpent
- And descended upon his farm
- All rabid in their blindness
- They dragged the snake outside
- Chopped it open with an axe
- And the ground soaked
- In the milk of human kindness
- So Long
- Farewell
- So Long
- But the brown ape escaped
- And was heard to roam the ranges
- Clanking its heavy chain
- Down in the valley it sang to its friend
- Whom he may never see again
