Sufjan Stevens - The Henney Buggy Band lyrics
[Sufjan Stevens - The Henney Buggy Band lyrics]
Oh life, with your shoulders in the mirror
From the park when Dakota ran
And brought you there
In the car when your mother lost her temper
The catalog and the catastrophic smile
Let the bugles play the sermon on the raid
I kissed you on the face
I kissed you on the playground
Oh Father John, you cannot tell me
What’s right and wrong you cannot tell me
I'll jump before I get around you
Oh Father John
Pick it up with the band
On the Ronald Reagan Tollway
(Don’t give up, let's go
Forget about yourself)
Illinois in it ran from
The Ronald Reagan Tollway
Forget about yourself and all your plans
Oh life, with your colorful surprises
Eleanor, how you put one on disguises
Oh Father John, you cannot tell me
What’s right and wrong you cannot tell me
In the mortal life far in the morning light
We’re back from Bloomington
We let the runners win
Far in the morning life
We let the movies play
A weekend from the holiday
Pick it up with the band
On the Ronald Reagan Tollway
(Don’t break down
Let’s go: forget about yourself)
Illinois in it ran from
The Ronald Reagan Tollway
(If I’m wrong makes nothing
Right about yourself)
Snowmobile on the field where the
Gunners throw their weight around
Forget about yourself and all your plans
From the park when Dakota ran
And brought you there
In the car when your mother lost her temper
The catalog and the catastrophic smile
Let the bugles play the sermon on the raid
I kissed you on the face
I kissed you on the playground
Oh Father John, you cannot tell me
What’s right and wrong you cannot tell me
I'll jump before I get around you
Oh Father John
Pick it up with the band
On the Ronald Reagan Tollway
(Don’t give up, let's go
Forget about yourself)
Illinois in it ran from
The Ronald Reagan Tollway
Forget about yourself and all your plans
Oh life, with your colorful surprises
Eleanor, how you put one on disguises
Oh Father John, you cannot tell me
What’s right and wrong you cannot tell me
In the mortal life far in the morning light
We’re back from Bloomington
We let the runners win
Far in the morning life
We let the movies play
A weekend from the holiday
Pick it up with the band
On the Ronald Reagan Tollway
(Don’t break down
Let’s go: forget about yourself)
Illinois in it ran from
The Ronald Reagan Tollway
(If I’m wrong makes nothing
Right about yourself)
Snowmobile on the field where the
Gunners throw their weight around
Forget about yourself and all your plans
