Flash Pan Hunter Lyrics by Tom Waits

Flash Pan Hunter Lyrics

    The flash pan hunter sways with the wind
    His rifle is the sound of the morning
    Each sulfurous bullet way have it's own wit
    Each cartridge comes with a warning
    Beware of elaborate telescopic meats
    They will find their way back to the forest

    CHORUS
    For Wilhelm can't wait
    To be Peg Leg's crown
    As the briar is strangling
    The rose back down

    His back shall be my slender new branch
    It will sway and bend in the breeze
    As the devil does his polka
    Wit ha hatchet in his hand
    As a sniper in the branches of the trees
    As the vulture flutters down
    As the snake sheds his dove
    Wilhelm's cutting off his fingers
    So they'll fit into his glove

    CHORUS
