Scott Walker
Patriot (a single)
[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain 1]
The good news
You cannot refuse
The bad news
Is there is no news

[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain 2]
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
The Luzerner Zeitung
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
And you never sold out
And you never sold out

[Verse 3]
Cripple fingers
Hit the muezzin yells
Some had Columbine
Some had Flecks
Cripple fingers
Hit the rounds of shells
Some had clinging vine
Some had specks

[Refrain 1]
The good news
You cannot refuse
The bad news
Is there is no news

[Verse 4]
Tonight he'll rise
He'll leave these arms
To anyone
Who asks about
As-in-the tracks
As-in the wrists
As-in-you been
As-in-without
[Refrain 2]
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
Oh, the Luzerner Zeitung
And you never sold out
And never sold out

[Verse 5]
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
