Patriot (a Single)
Scott Walker
Ja '91
See how they run
I brought nylons from New York
Some had butterflies, some had flecks
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
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
And you never sold out
And you never sold out
Crippled fingers, hit the muezzin yells
Some had Columbine, some had flecks
Crippled 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 sell 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
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
And you never sold out
And you never sold out
See how it blows
A mile up the road
Color of Moon
It swirls and collects
Unfolding and tumbling
Up this back road
Swirling butterflies
Swirling flecks
