Sufjan Stevens - Lord God Bird lyrics

In the delta sun, down in Arkansas It's the great god bird with its altar call And the sewing machine, the industrial god On the great bayou where they saw it fall It's the great god bird down in Arkansas And the hunters beware, or the fishers fall And paradise might close from its safe flight flawed It's the great god bird through it all And the watchers beware, lest they see it fall And paradise might laugh when at last it falls And the sewing machine, the industrial god And it's the great god bird with its altar call Yes, it's the great god bird with its altar call Yes, it's the great god bird through it all
