Fire Escape in the Sky: The Godlike Genius of Scott Walker is a compilation album of previously released Scott Walker material, compiled by Julian Cope and released by Zoo Records (catalogue no. Zoo Two) in 1981. The album's title, Fire Escape in the Sky, is taken from the lyrics of the song "Big Louise" from Walker's album Scott 3.
According to Cope in the 30 Century Man documentary, the album's plain, neutral grey sleeve was designed to allow people to enjoy Walker's music without feeling they were buying into "some dodgy 60's MOR icon".
All tracks written by Scott Engel, except where noted.
