Michael Praytor, Five Years Later
Ben Folds Five

It was the opposite of 'Fire and Rain'

You know the song

I never thought I'd see this guy again

But I was wrong

Oh, every five years

Since 1972 when at recess

He recruited me to try to kick

The church down to the ground


Michael Praytor

So random

Who knows why some satellites

Come by and by

While others disappear

Into the sky


Good morning, mirror

Break the change to me

I tried to stay too close to see

That there's a pattern in the tiles

And a fool who marks the miles

It was long hair

And this time it was no hair

Seeming thin, divorced, inspired

Engaged in chemo, born again and fired


Michael Praytor

So random

Who knows why some satellites


Come by and by

While others disappear

Into the sky

Disappear into the sky


Hey


At Hanes Mall parking lot at 5am

I saw him sleeping in his car

I've been up all night from New York

Bumming out on 95

Now I'm 30 and we all live with our parents

And my wife, he said, she kicked me out

I said, Same here

Guess I'll see you 'round

(I'll see you around)

Guess I'll see you 'round

(I'll see you around)


Michael Praytor

Michael Praytor

Michael Praytor

Michael Praytor

So random

Who knows why some satellites

Come by and then they disappear
