Owen Pallett - Song For Five & Six Lyrics
At five and sixEven as a child you felt the terror of the infiniteStencilling your diagrams of trilogies and pyramids on the face of the infiniteAnd sing about a poetess, hyacinth around her feetThat it will never come again is what makes our life so sweetDo you agree or disagree?There's a gap between what a man wantsAnd what a man will receiveThe sun has set on meThere's a gap between what a man wantsAnd what a man believesYou saved the gameAnd Escobar came from the graveTo warn you with a bloody hand to never try and make the bandSaid like a blister under sole, the body will heal any holeThe body gradually transform and lose its features one by oneUntil it is as beautiful as the wind before a stormDo you agree or disagree?There's a gap between what a man wantsAnd what a man will receiveThe sun has set on meThere's a gap between what a man wantsAnd what a man believesThe sticks smash on the flatbedBoys tour the town, victorious in warThe sticks smash on the flatbedBoys on the ball
