Top Sufjan Stevens Lyrics
The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is out to Get Us Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
I see my own breath on the face of the door
Oh, I am not quite sleeping. Oh I am fast in bed
There on the wall in the bedroom, creeping
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched
North of Savanna, we swim in the Palisades,
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
He runs washing his face in his hands
Oh, how I meant to tease him. Oh, how I meant no harm
Touching his back with my hand, I kiss him
I see the wasp on the length of my arm
Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelu--
Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelu--
Trail of Tears and Horsehoe Lake. Hallelu--
Trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelu--
We were in love. We were in love.
Palisades! Palisades! I can wait. I can wait.
Lamb of God, we sound the horn.
Hallelujah!
To us your ghost is born.
Hallelu--
I can't explain the state that I'm in
The state of my heart
He was my best friend
Into the car, from
The back seat
Oh admiration,
In falling asleep
All of my powers,
Day after day; I can tell you,
We swaggered and swayed
Deep in the Tower,
The Prairies below
I can tell you,
But telling gets old
Terrible sting, and terrible storm
I can tell you, the day we
Were born. My friend is gone,
He ran away. I can tell you,
I love him each day
Though we have sparred,
Wrestled and raged
I can tell you,
I love him each day.
Terrible sting, terrible storm
I can tell you.
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
I see my own breath on the face of the door
Oh, I am not quite sleeping. Oh I am fast in bed
There on the wall in the bedroom, creeping
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched
North of Savanna, we swim in the Palisades,
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
He runs washing his face in his hands
Oh, how I meant to tease him. Oh, how I meant no harm
Touching his back with my hand, I kiss him
I see the wasp on the length of my arm
Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelu--
Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelu--
Trail of Tears and Horsehoe Lake. Hallelu--
Trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelu--
We were in love. We were in love.
Palisades! Palisades! I can wait. I can wait.
Lamb of God, we sound the horn.
Hallelujah!
To us your ghost is born.
Hallelu--
I can't explain the state that I'm in
The state of my heart
He was my best friend
Into the car, from
The back seat
Oh admiration,
In falling asleep
All of my powers,
Day after day; I can tell you,
We swaggered and swayed
Deep in the Tower,
The Prairies below
I can tell you,
But telling gets old
Terrible sting, and terrible storm
I can tell you, the day we
Were born. My friend is gone,
He ran away. I can tell you,
I love him each day
Though we have sparred,
Wrestled and raged
I can tell you,
I love him each day.
Terrible sting, terrible storm
I can tell you.
