Owen Pallett - Soldier's Rock Lyrics

Out on a bicycle a reflection left behind
The desires of your daughters they will never be defined
Wild pedal wild energized by the stolen vodka and triple-sec
Wheels spurting up the flecks of mud on your blue jeans and your turtleneck
I'm out on a bicycle feeling God is on my side
My mother didn't believe in discipline or the unconscious mind
Ooh when you finally realize our love is found
Between the waking and the dreaming
Ooh we fight one another in the afternoon
We bathe we bathe each other in the evening

Pick up pickup your tiny arm
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your mother
Pick up pickup your tiny arm
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your mother

Somewhere between the road and the ever darkening sky
Ooh the greediness of our hearts will not be satisfied
As it is said by the occupants
Who rally round the outer steps of parliament
So it is said confidentially
By the men and women working in the government

Pick up pick up the bayonet
And run it through run it through the stomach of your brother
Pick up pick up the bayonet
And run it through run it through the stomach of your brother
Pick up pick up your bloody arm
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your lover
Pick up pick up your bloody arm
And put it round put it round the shoulder of your lover
