Song | The Sky Behind The Flag |
Artist | Owen Pallett |
Album | In Conflict |
The only girl I ever fell in love with | |
Taught me how to drink as if it needed | |
To be taught | |
I’d always give that girl another shot | |
We danced ourselves through difficult times | |
A sheet of noise to wash away our grievance | |
And when I left | |
I told her I’m a sky behind a flag | |
She said I was the guy at a gas station | |
Who would offer to give to you comfort | |
When there is none | |
The language spoken in a service station | |
Oh oh oh men don’t need a miracle | |
Oh oh they need to lose control | |
Oh oh we only need to lose control | |
The drive goes on as our conversation | |
Turns to something something on the radio | |
Then to the drone | |
The engine is our anniversary song | |
And I think, as I look over: lucky you. | |
Lucky me and lucky, lucky you. | |
We will be | |
Together in our strangeness and our safety | |
Oh how do you like me now? | |
Golden calf to golden cow | |
Oh Owen why must you always be | |
First to wake and first to fight | |
First to wound and first to fly | |
Oh don't need a miracle | |
Oh Owen why must you always be | |
First to wake and first to fight | |
First to wound and first to fly | |
Oh I gotta lose control | |
Why can’t I lose control? | |
First to wake and first to fight | |
First to wound and first to fly | |
Oh oh oh oh |
The only girl I ever fell in love with | |
Taught me how to drink as if it needed | |
To be taught | |
I' d always give that girl another shot | |
We danced ourselves through difficult times | |
A sheet of noise to wash away our grievance | |
And when I left | |
I told her I' m a sky behind a flag | |
She said I was the guy at a gas station | |
Who would offer to give to you comfort | |
When there is none | |
The language spoken in a service station | |
Oh oh oh men don' t need a miracle | |
Oh oh they need to lose control | |
Oh oh we only need to lose control | |
The drive goes on as our conversation | |
Turns to something something on the radio | |
Then to the drone | |
The engine is our anniversary song | |
And I think, as I look over: lucky you. | |
Lucky me and lucky, lucky you. | |
We will be | |
Together in our strangeness and our safety | |
Oh how do you like me now? | |
Golden calf to golden cow | |
Oh Owen why must you always be | |
First to wake and first to fight | |
First to wound and first to fly | |
Oh don' t need a miracle | |
Oh Owen why must you always be | |
First to wake and first to fight | |
First to wound and first to fly | |
Oh I gotta lose control | |
Why can' t I lose control? | |
First to wake and first to fight | |
First to wound and first to fly | |
Oh oh oh oh |
