Owen Pallett – "A Man with No Ankles"

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!

Oh!oh!oh!oh!oh! ....

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.

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.
