Owen Pallett - Song For Five & Six lyrics

At five and six Even as a child you felt the terror of the infinite Stencilling 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 wants And what a man will receive The sun has set on me There's a gap between what a man wants And what a man believes You saved the game And Escobar came from the grave To warn you with a bloody hand to never try and make the band Said like a blister under sole, 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 a storm Do you agree or disagree? There's a gap between what a man wants And what a man will receive The sun has set on me There's a gap between what a man wants And what a man believes The sticks smash on the flatbed Boys tour the town, victorious in war The sticks smash on the flatbed Boys on the ball
