Les Claypool Phantom Patriot Lyrics

Phantom Patriot Lyrics

Intro

The Phantom Patriot (Repeat)



Verse 1

Creeping
ever creepy

Like a fox in the night

Turning wrongs into right

He boldly works alone

With a crossbow on his shoulder

And a saber
at his side

His brand is guns and knives

His mask is white as
bone.



Bridge

The Phantom Patriot (Repeat)

He’s come to
save the day

The Phantom Patriot (Repeat)

He’s come to save the
day

Yes he’s come to save the day. (So desperately the way)



Verse 2

Walking through the compound 

With a formulated plan

?There’d had? been so a man

At this decisive point in time

The
Bohemians at The Grove

Don’t see it quite the same

Smelling danger
in his game

They dub his quest a crime.

(Bridge)





Verse 3

Searching for his query

Through the elite redwood
maze

He’s walked provisioned ?for forty? days and nights

He must
remain alert

And though it’s not intended

Our hero soon is
apprehended 

With “Phantom Patriot” in sharpie

Written boldly cross
his shirt.

(Bridge)
