Tilt - Scott Walker

He was so strong

He was so bold

When they made him

They broke the mold

If he heads this way

When the moon is slow

Come over and pray

They’ll turn the buffalo

They’ll turn the buffalo

There’s a need to sleep

In the shag of his stomach

Slide around his eye

With your love in tow

If he heads this way

Don’t you say hello

Get out of the way

They’ll turn the buffalo

They’ll turn the buffalo

Our town, our town

Do love a stampede

Stampede by

My old jacket in the park

Someday I’ll pick it up

Look for the label and whisper:

Tilt, ain’t got none no no

Tilt, got none at all

Tilt, ain’t got none no no

None at all

The mother waits

As still as the moonlight

Standing in long grass

With her cold cold nose

What she feels so deep

She will never show

Baby don’t you weep

They’ll turn the buffalo

They’ll turn the buffalo

Our town, our town

Do love a stampede

Stampede by

My old jacket in the dark

Someday I’ll pick it up

Look for the label and whisper:

Tilt, ain’t got none no no

Tilt, got none at all

Tilt, ain’t got none no no

None at all

He was so strong

He was so… so

We’ll think of him

When we get old
