Flash Pan Hunter/intro Lyrics - Tom Waits

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 

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

For Wilhelm can't wait 

To be Peg Leg's crown 

As the briar is strangling 

The rose back down
