Owen Pallett - A Man With No Ankles lyrics

Somewhere between her window and my doorstep I remembered what it was to play, to play, to play Don't tell me you can't remember a time before our carnal needs Turned us all into employers and employees "The future is a constant in a world of free will; If we are all pre-destined, the future: variable." I wrote it, but I don't know what it means, don't know what it means, But a fat-fingered wife isn't how I'm gonna end my teens. Upon upon upon the beauty I take the yoke and do my duty Do do do do do do my duty do do do do do do my duty Stopped by the river to fish out a fiver Slipped off my sandals and I waded in there Watched as the water licked my toes and my ankles From the back of my neck, to the top of my head, oh!
