Owen Pallett - Paragon Of Order

Rage up the street
A dog on a leash
Men try to corner me to get a piece
You don't need to ask
You got it wrong
Child of a broken home can love anyone
And the unblinking eye
That keeps track of our shit
It will look to the left
When kids get lit
My muscles softened since I washed up here
And I traded the scythe
For a cig and a bottle of beer

In the hollow distance
A man trying to be kind

The mainlander boy pays for the bath
They'll let you spend the night if you crash
And the radiator drones
Sister Faith and Sister Chance
Children of broken homes
We will dance
And I face the ocean
Pray for change
Freedom and loneliness
One and the same
I will pray in secret
Says the scripture
And facing the ocean
I silently whisper

In the hollow distance
A man trying to be kind
Godkiller's alive
Godkiller's alive

In the hollow distance
A man trying to be kind
Godkiller's alive
Godkiller's alive
