Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

Patriot

see how

they run

i brought nylons from New York

some had butterflies some had specks

i brought nylons from New York

Hard flat butterflies some had specks

The good news you cannot refuse

The bad news is there is no news

Tonight he'll rise

he'll sell his arms

to anyone who asks about

As-in-the wind

As-in the rain

As-in-as in

As-in-without

oh the Luzerner Zeitung

the Luzerner Zeitung

never sold out

never sold out

Cripple fingers hit the muezzin yells

some had Columbine some had specks

Cripple fingers hit the rounds of shells

some had clinging vine some had specks

The good news you cannot refuse

The bad news is there is no news

Tonight he'll rise

he'll leave his arms

to anyone who asks about

As-in-the tracks

As-in the wrists

As-in-you been

As-in-without

oh the Luzerner Zeitung

the Luzerner Zeitung

never sold out

never sold out

See how it blows

a mile up the road

color of moon

it swirls and collects

unfolding and timbling

up this back road

swirling butterflies swirling flecks
