Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

Tilt

He was so strong, he was so bold

when they made him, they broke the mold

if he heads this way, when the moon is slow

Come over and pray...

they'll turn the buffalo

they'll turn the buffalo

There's a need to sleep

in the shag of his stomach

slide around his eye

with your love in tow

if he heads this way

don't you say hello

Get out of the way

they'll turn the buffalo

they'll turn the buffalo

Our town

our town

do love a stampede

Stampede by my old jacket in the park

Someday I'll pick it up

look for the label and whisper

Tilt

ain't got no no no

Tilt

got none at all

Tilt

ain't got no no no

A mother waits

as still as the moon light

Standing in long grass

with her cold cold nose

What she feels so deep

she will never show

Baby don't you weep

they'll turn the buffalo

they'll turn the buffalo

Our town

our town

do love a stampede

Stampede by my old jacket in the park

Someday I'll pick it up

look for the maker and whisper

Tilt

ain't got no no no

Tilt

got none at all

Tilt

ain't got no no no

not at all
