Tar Lyrics


Scott Walker Tar


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.
