lyrics
At night when the streetlights look like a parade
Our bodies are in motion and they're not afraid
Of carrying on in any fashion till' the morning light
Covering our broken love with perfectly foolish delights
The graves of our elders
The plots of our great youth
Are covering our broken dreams
With the most absurdist proofs
Light the gluttony of love
Like swallowing your spit back up
Like every time you fix it
You really f**k it up
I'll go flying these flights over
Words like grass that I've mowed over
I'll come crashing into a sentence
Chicken scratched and bloody
Hoping it's beautiful
The senseless text of our every machine
Equals the senseless text of man's mental regime
There is a punctuation behind every lie
But there is no punctuation on the earth or the sky
I'll go flying these flights over
Words like grass that I've mowed over
I'll come crashing into a sentence
Chicken scratched and bloody
Hoping it's beautiful
Our bodies are in motion and they're not afraid
Of carrying on in any fashion till' the morning light
Covering our broken love with perfectly foolish delights
The graves of our elders
The plots of our great youth
Are covering our broken dreams
With the most absurdist proofs
Light the gluttony of love
Like swallowing your spit back up
Like every time you fix it
You really f**k it up
I'll go flying these flights over
Words like grass that I've mowed over
I'll come crashing into a sentence
Chicken scratched and bloody
Hoping it's beautiful
The senseless text of our every machine
Equals the senseless text of man's mental regime
There is a punctuation behind every lie
But there is no punctuation on the earth or the sky
I'll go flying these flights over
Words like grass that I've mowed over
I'll come crashing into a sentence
Chicken scratched and bloody
Hoping it's beautiful

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevenssupported by 10 fans who also own “Like A Parade”
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track.
