Song For Five & Six - Owen Pallett

At five and six

Even as a child you felt the terror of the infinite

Stenciling your diagrams of trilogies and pyramids on the face of the infinite

And sing about a poetess, hyacinth around her feet

That it will never come again is what makes our life so sweet

Do you agree or disagree?

There’s a gap between what a man want and what a man will receive

The sun has set on me

There’s a gap between what a man want and what a man will receive

You saved the game

And Escobar came from the grave

To warn you with a bloody hand to never try to make the band

Said like a blister undersole, the body will heal any hole

The body gradually transform and lose its features one by one

Until it is as beautiful as the wind before the storm

Do you agree or disagree?

There’s a gap between what a man want and what a man will receive

The sun has set on me

There’s a gap between what a man want and what a man will receive

The sticks smash on the flatbed

Boys tour the town victorious in war

The sticks smash on the flatbed

Boys on the ball
