Owen Pallett - Song for Five & Six lyrics

rate me

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.

Hook:

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

Hook:

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

Boys on the ball

Smash, smash on the flatbed

Boys tour the town

The sticks smash on the flatbed

Boys on the ball

Boys on the ball
