Scott Walker - Patriot (A Single)

ja '91
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
