Sufjan Stevens - No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross lyrics

[Sufjan Stevens - No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross lyrics]

Now that I fell into your arms my only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell in the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back in
The shade of the meadowlark like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I'll drive that stake through the
Center of my heart lonely vampire
Inhaling it's fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far

There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I'm falling apart my assassin
Like Casper the ghost
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross
