Lyrics Cossacks Are - Scott Walker

Cossacks Are

«A moving aria
For a vanished
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 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»
Calculated cruelty"
«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
