Ben Folds Five - Michael Praytor, Five Years Later lyrics

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
