Owen Pallett - Midnight Directives (Max Tundra remix) lyrics

Cross her off the shortlist My blood is a red-winged bird The way will be lit by the bridges we burn, oh And come, tornado! Carry me away from the croft Ruffle my hair, bear my body aloft, oh As the cutla** came down on a Saturday night Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife Called away into service, for a clerical life Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife Thought I was a sad-boy Now I know, I know, I know I was wrong Since you came along, I can see how content I had been It'll drive a man crazy to age from the outside in But I have a plan, it's a trick with a prick of a pin And as the cutla** came down on a Saturday night Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife Called away into service, for a clerical life Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife For a man can be bought, and a man can be sold And the price of a hundred thousand unwatered souls Is a bit of meat and a bit of coal It's a bit of meat and a bit of coal It's a little bit of meat and coal
