Lewis' Dream - Owen Pallett

Benito was fifteen when he went off to college

I stayed home and tried to go with his best friend

He told me he was gonna cut my neck right across

Then he read Rousseau

Where did he go?

Master comes to me while I'm sleeping

Gives me hell for my overeating

Tells me how I should cut my hair

You think I am only dreaming

But I've arms of bronze and bone

I was born into a loving home

And of all the promises that I have made

There's one I'll never break

Write his name on your chest in a fever

Sing his song to the boats on the river

Heaven's number is seventy-one

Our work has only just begun

With our arms of bronze and bone

We will set our shoulders to the stone

We will lift it, we will bear it 'til our bodies

Our bodies break
