Scott Walker - Tar Lyrics

Flat nose whistle goes up ahead
Up ahead on the El Greco grunt

God creates man and then animals
Bilge!
God creates animals and then man

Jackaroo in the slew
Let its tinnitustic needles sew back shadow

She holds a baby made of towels up ahead
Up ahead on the baleen bronchial

Jacob's offspring in Egypt totalled seventy
Hogwash!
Jacob's offspring in Egypt totalled seventy five.
Contritio/Attritio

Let the leashes strain sustain those jaw-joints surging
Aw-shucks, aw-gee
The Porter sticks with the Porter's dreams

Shoot to a wing-tip pawing the ground
I wouldn't trust him
Not to dance a drachma across his knuckles

Twenty-seven inches from heel to heel
Lardie, Lardie, Lardie
While every skin is raised
While every eye was grazed

Thrushy-tongue lolling up ahead
Up ahead on the sarcomere stump

The women came to the tomb at dawn
Booty chatter!
The women came when the sun had risen

Laps/Relapse
Let this throat's Colombian necktie choke that Franglais

Flat nose whistle goes up ahead
Up ahead on the Pilates punk

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree
GTFO
The righteous shall perish and no man layeth it to heart
I swerved away into the dark

Forty-five inches from heel to heel
Forty-five inches from heel to heel
Forty-five inches from heel to heel
There but for the grace of God goes God.
