Nite Flights Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DukeOfPrunes 

Cover art for Nite Flights lyrics by Scott Walker

The poetic, nearly surreal descriptions of evil men with their human quarry all alone up in the air, with no escape, and taking glee in their work is so haunting and effective. "The raw meat fist you choke"...."glass traps open and close"...far more frightening and suggestive of the kind of horror inflicted than more straightforward descriptions. Incredible song.
