The Sound Of The Engines - Owen Pallett

Oh, I dream of starships, starships and the void

The faces of the prophets history destroyed

But I will live forever, of this I am sure

I’ll bury my lovers, I am the cure

My body is wider and stronger than collapsing buildings

And I will see the graves, I will see the graves of your children

Woke up in an ambulance, beaten and bleeding

The sound of the engines, oh, I am a wound un-healing

When I was a user, my arms were all in splinters

But out here in the snowy fields, I am the winter

My coat falls open and I let you in

The Great White Noise will be your undoing

A left to the heavens and a right, a right to the jaw

The chorus of the angels, and I fall

Woke up in an ambulance, blue-fingered and freezing

The sound of the engines, oh, I am a wound un-healing
