We are a servant
We have a song
The side of a beehive
A tabernacle choir
We are the sound
Working in wars
The bishop is gone
To the acolyte shores
We save our Bibles
We pull our sleeves
The word is a guard
And the guard is a cleave
We are the right
We are the stay
The accolade's gone
We are what You say
We have no language
We have no chore
The side of a beehive
The bride is a whore
We are a spite
We are at bay
The Spirit is life
We are what You say
We have a sermon
We have a song
The bishop is easy
The bishop is wrong
The Spirit is right
The Spirit will say
We are a light
We are what You say

Like it's killing me
It's kidding me around
This bite, You bit on me
You put on me a gown
That fits me like a quarter door
That hits me like a sound
It's like You shut on me
Or shouldn't be around
Like the fennel seed
The funny gene You found
I like the man-o-weeds
The man-o-wars abound
That fits me like a quarter door
That hits me like a sound
I might just win a war
A matador around
There's still nothing I can say to change
My news for You
There's still nothing You can do to exchange
My dues to You
Like You fit on me
To bit on me a bound
This life that's shut on me
That shouldn't be the grounds
To emulate an epicene
To elevate a sound
This life, a winner needs
A winner needs a wand
Never want to blame You
Bound You, blame me
Never want the blame You bound
Never want to blame You
Bound me, blame You
Never want the fame You found
And where's the same
And where's the strong
And where's the guard
And where's the one who tries to make You?

I never felt so safe
A line I once told her
Warm resting place
Her arm on my shoulder
you are the rock
you are the rake
you are the one when I watch myself
you are the rock
you are the rake
you are the one when I watch myself
we ran into a cave
when the wars came closer
she turned into a cave
where it turned colder
you are the rock
you are the rake
you are the one when I watch myself
you are the rock
you are the rake
you are the one when I watch myself
you are the rock
you are the rake
you are the one when I watch myself
you are the rock
you are the rake

My sister had two babies at one time, they were Siamese twins, no they were actually, they were connected at the head, at the head, and the doctor cut them apart, and my sister said, "I have two kids now, look at me."

Reach for the archer
he shows an offer
You are only a redeemer
You are holy like Demitrius
Change the voodoo caper
strange impersonator
make a multy dragger
Take ??
You are like that
a redeemer
You are like that

Something suddenly unclear
Someone suddenly my fear
My eyes demand like broken ?
The laddle over spills on ?
If you once knew
how I love you
and my ? eyes peeled
every image to your face and ?
and if you're happy I am, too
and if you're sleeping I'm with you
But you love someone else
But you want to be with someone else
And I can't believe how dumb I sound
And I put my face over the ground
. . .

A summer night I find a boat
Tattoo a tree a normal home
She lost her strength stepping in
I push the ???
Trouble glad without a voice
mountain song the boat moves on
The water runs on either side
Circle swell a sudden light.
Takes me
I fix my view upon the ridge
??? another gray sky

One time, this kid ate too much food, and the food started coming out of his stomach, out of his belly button, there was maggots coming out of his belly button

I'm taking you down
to the place in the field
and when I find you underneath the grass
I know you feel this way
You feel this way because I know you
and I feel you
and I feed you rice pudding at the benefit concert

such a shame that I can't get over this
boot(?) the acts of wrong and roll again
such a satyr(?) mind will close again
watching every ray turning again
and I close my eyes to everything you rearranged
and I close my mind to everything you've kept the same
boot the acts of wrong and roll again
cannot keep you in my bed again
link of every time you need your space again
when the hairline breaks
? ? ? ?

She's a super human girl
She is super woman.
She is Superman's cousin
She's got superpower lovin'
She's got super human eyes
For seein' through superhuman vision
She's got super human thighs
Sexier than television
She is super duper smart,
I like her for her mind
She'll shoot a super fart,
The deadly silent kind
She's got super human lips, for super suction
She's got super power hips, for super reproduction
She's a super human girl,
She is super woman.
She is Superman's cousin
She's got superpower lovin'
She's got super human eyes
To see through super human vision
She's got super human thighs,
Sexier than television.
She's a lot like Catwoman
Just without the leather
She likes whips and chains
And an electronic feather.
She's got a super long tongue
And spandex underwear
She's got a Superman smile
And wonderful.. ?
She's a super human girl,
She is super woman.
She is Superman's cousin
She's got superpower lovin'
She's got super human eyes
To see through super human vision
She's got super human thighs,
Sexier than television.

Cave the Cadmus country soon
Europa's sake he drew
Until the oracle said wander
Safe libation water slew
A serpent near him knew
Until the oracle said wander

Like the lantern on a tree
Your burden bright as weary be
Periwig on parakeet
You're God's great paramour and sweet
I'm happy, I'm happy
Your birthday brings a pardoning
I'm happy, I'm happy
You're like a bird that will not be
Yours will number, yours will be
A paragon, a Paraclete
Keep your bed warm, keep your humor
Keep your proverbs short and sweet
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
That life is anxious, life is mean
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
A pair of shoes is what you need
I'm happy, I'm happy
Your birthday brings a pardoning
I'm happy, I'm happy
You're like a bird that will not be

Jason, you're the only one
Jason, like a steady son
Like that, you're the only one
Take that, when the runner's come
When the right dragon comes around
When the knight horses burn the ground
Jason, you're the only one
Jason, like a steady son
(You're the only one)
Jason, you're the circle sun
Jason, run the rabbit run
Like that, you're the steady gun
Like that, what the Argon won
When the right dragon comes around
When the knight horses burn the ground
When the right you gave me
To make it through the night
When the right dragon comes around
(You're the only one)
We were young and noble
Riding on a plane for freedom run
A plane for freedom run

He took the stable
Bred me to be a mare
Made the bretheren able
Gave me a room
I never asked him
I never meant meant to stay
He dressed the table
Wore a dress to be my mare
There's no permanence
When you never leave the stall
He ran to other wars
Won't write me at all
I want to kill him
I want to cut his brain
And when it's over
I know I'll feel okay
He was a champion
We were riding side by side
Into the frontier
He left me without a ride
Where did the hour go
When the champions intercede?
He stole the cargo
Took every chance to leave
There's no permanence
When you never leave the stall
He ran to other wars
Won't write me at all
I want to kill him
I want to cut his brain
And when it's over
I know I'll feel okay
I want to kill him
I want to cut his face
And when it's over
I know I'll feel okay
I want
I want
I want
I want

Everything You are
is everything we have,
You're the only good thing
a sun came
burned our faces round
burned our faces red
You are still the rage a rock
from the enemy
there is still a house, a cage
for the enemy
when my friends turned out, I found out
there is still a Lord
but I never felt so lonely

I remember when my mother would get sick, She would vomit all over the kitchen, she would vomit on the tables and on the countertops, and in the refrigerator, and we called the dog, the dog would come in and slip on the vomit.

I would like to throw a field
Yes, I would like to be a man
I would send the Kingdom's field
Yes, I would enter to the end
Blessed is the man who waits
And blessed is the man who starts

Hey, Shar?
Yes, Sufjan?
So, what do you believe in?
Oh, a lot of things
Oh yeah, like what?
Well, peace and justice for all
In the middle when you came
Will the animals invite?

Every letter, every line
