The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us - Sufjan Stevens |
[00:02.68] |
|
[00:18.83] |
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive |
[00:23.34] |
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor |
[00:27.49] |
|
[00:28.21] |
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers |
[00:32.58] |
I see my own breath on the face of the door |
[00:37.00] |
|
[00:37.63] |
Oh I am not quite sleeping |
[00:41.78] |
|
[00:42.59] |
Oh I am fast in bed |
[00:46.33] |
|
[00:46.96] |
There on the wall in the bedroom creeping |
[00:51.79] |
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched |
[00:55.87] |
|
[01:34.46] |
North of Savanna we swim in the Palisades |
[01:38.93] |
I come out wearing my brother's red hat |
[01:42.86] |
|
[01:43.57] |
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times |
[01:48.95] |
He runs washing his face in his hands |
[01:53.14] |
Oh how I meant to tease him |
[01:57.81] |
Oh how I meant no harm |
[02:02.31] |
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him |
[02:07.09] |
I see the wasp on the length of my arm |
[02:11.70] |
|
[02:30.59] |
Oh great sights upon this state hallelu |
[02:40.12] |
Wonders bright and rivers lake hallelu |
[02:49.13] |
|
[02:49.68] |
Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake hallelu |
[02:58.87] |
Trusting things beyond mistake hallelu |
[03:08.02] |
|
[03:17.94] |
We were in love we were in love |
[03:21.89] |
|
[03:22.51] |
Palisades Palisades |
[03:24.86] |
I can wait I can wait |
[03:27.31] |
Lamb of God we sound the horn |
[03:34.65] |
|
[03:35.49] |
Hallelujah |
[03:36.64] |
|
[03:37.73] |
To us your ghost is born |
[03:44.22] |
|
[03:44.78] |
Hallelu |
[03:45.55] |
|
[03:47.37] |
I can't explain the state that I'm in |
[03:51.03] |
|
[03:51.81] |
The state of my heart he was my best friend |
[03:55.70] |
|
[03:56.56] |
Into the car from the backseat |
[04:00.42] |
|
[04:01.17] |
Oh admiration in falling asleep |
[04:05.19] |
|
[04:06.00] |
All of my powers day after day |
[04:10.00] |
|
[04:10.84] |
I can tell you we swaggered and swayed |
[04:14.60] |
|
[04:15.31] |
Deep in the tower the prairies below |
[04:19.32] |
|
[04:20.02] |
I can tell you the telling gets old |
[04:23.92] |
|
[04:24.91] |
Terrible sting and terrible storm |
[04:28.72] |
|
[04:29.49] |
I can tell you the day we were born |
[04:33.44] |
|
[04:34.19] |
My friend is gone he ran away |
[04:38.24] |
|
[04:38.89] |
I can tell you I love him each day |
[04:42.87] |
|
[04:43.63] |
Though we have sparred wrestled and raged |
[04:47.50] |
|
[04:48.37] |
I can tell you I love him each day |
[04:52.25] |
|
[04:53.10] |
Terrible sting and terrible storm |
[04:56.95] |
|
[04:57.65] |
I can tell you |
