The Escape Lyrics

Cover art for The Escape lyrics by Scott Walker

I feel like these two parts of the song

"Rabbi crater keyed for action hits the marks I wish I was in Dixie Sleet switches silence to the shredding of larks"

"Wind blown hair in a windowless room"

is talking about suicide bombing

Not sure what the link between obscure Kabbalah references and Donald Duck is though. I almost feel that the "What's up, Doc?" line is not accurate since that was something Bugs Bunny said, but I do think that the voice at the end is supposed to convey Donald Duck.

"sticks in gullets" "shredding of larks"

"A lifeline of knuckles waddles into the afternoon" Being persecuted by the Israel army?

I'm absolutely clueless
