Scott Walker — Cossacks Are lyrics

Lyrics

'A moving aria
for a vanishing
style of mind'
'A noble debut
tackling vertiginous
demands'
'Has absence ever
sounded so eloquent
so sad
I doubt it?'
With an arm
across the
torso
Face on the nails
With an arm
across the
torso
Face on the pale
monkey
nails
'Touching in the
shattered lives
it unearths'
'A nocturne
filled with
glorious ideas'
'A chilling
exploration
of erotic consumption'
With an arm
across the
torso
Face on the nails
With an arm
across the
torso
Face on the pale
monkey
nails
Cossacks are
charging in Charging into
fields of white roses
Cossacks are
charging in Charging into
fields of white roses
«That's a nice suit»
«That's a swanky suit»
«Been a pope
like no other»
«I'm looking
for a good
cowboy»
'A rare outcry
makes you lead
a larger life'
'You could easily
picture this in the
current top ten'
'Medieval savagery
calculated cruelty'
'It's hard to pick
the worst moment'
'It's hard to pick
the worst moment'
With an arm
across the
torso
Face on the nails
With an arm
across the
torso
Face on the pale
monkey
nails
