Phrasing - Scott Walker

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

'Neath a protein moon

In a protein sky

Running protein fields

With my protein eye

There’s a protein song

Howling through the meat

Driving protein bods

From my protein street

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

From the south, the Klan sends roses

Lymph-lacquered nails hover in waifed autumn sun

For dragging down the back of summer

From the east come killer poses

Khrushchev’s shoe beats a black tattoo

In the middle of the day

From the north flow floats with quivering virgins

Fresh from frozen catacombs

Did ya spot the die-cut crosses?

Did ya?

Did ya?

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

Pain is not alone

'Neath a protein moon

In a protein sky

Running protein fields

With my protein eye

Here’s to a lousy life

Here’s to a lousy life

Here’s to a lousy life

Here’s to a lousy life
