Owen Pallett - The Sky Behind the Flag Lyrics
The only girl I ever fell in love withTaught me how to drink as if it neededTo be taughtI’d always give that girl another shotWe danced ourselves through difficult timesA sheet of noise to wash away our grievanceAnd when I leftI told her I’m a sky behind a flagShe said I was the guy at a gas stationWho would offer to give to you comfortWhen there is noneThe language spoken in a service stationOh oh oh men don’t need a miracleOh oh they need to lose controlOh oh we only need to lose controlThe drive goes on as our conversationTurns to something something on the radioThen to the droneThe engine is our anniversary songAnd I think, as I look over: lucky you.Lucky me and lucky, lucky you.We will beTogether in our strangeness and our safetyOh how do you like me now?Golden calf to golden cowOh Owen why must you always beFirst to wake and first to fightFirst to wound and first to flyOh don't need a miracleOh Owen why must you always beFirst to wake and first to fightFirst to wound and first to flyOh I gotta lose controlWhy can’t I lose control?First to wake and first to fightFirst to wound and first to flyOh oh oh oh
