Tilt Lyrics by Scott Walker

5 Easy Pieces

1995

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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:

[Chorus]
Tilt, ain't got none no no
Tilt, got none at all
Tilt, ain't got none no no
None at all

[Verse 3]
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

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
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:

[Chorus]
Tilt, ain't got none no no
Tilt, got none at all
Tilt, ain't got none no no
None at all

[Outro]
He was so strong, he was so... so
We'll think of him when we get old
