Scott Walker – Cue

What do Seoul/Sudan have in common?

Both start with an S

Deep as a virus

Little Mary

Little Mary

From scratchless I ascend

Stamps tongue-swabbed

Now embark for the Ivory Coast

Chiming like mouse bells

BAM BAM BAM BAM

BAM BAM BAM BAM

At the birth of a vermin Holy Ghost

Stars led to sky

Lash led to eye

Herpes to clit

Then stopped

Expect

I’m carried by lanterns

Expect

I will follow the aerosol patterns

Immunity won’t feed on the bodies

Bones closing

Too soon at the tips

Won’t feed on the bodies

From the fat black crocodile on the sand bar

Can’t swallow it then bury it

From the voice flooded semen clotting to paste

Can’t swallow it then bury it

And the jigger raps pits

Darkness long

Jigger raps pits

BAM BAM BAM BAM

BAM BAM BAM BAM

Shoes had to shine

Splicing to swine

Strain after strain after strain after strain

Immunity

Immunity

Through the dominant wards and nurseries

A flugleman moves

In the lung-smeared slides and corridors

A flugleman moves

And his tune rises on the harvest clouds of dust

Trading the wah-wah’s for

BAM BAM BAM BAM

BAM BAM BAM BAM

Stars led to sky

Toe led to thigh

Rumor to breast

Then stopped
