It's the Top Thrill

Stop...I want to make an arrest!
For I no longer can chase your heart.
When you are hiding your best.
It's becoming the morning sun,
To see you and leave you for days
On end.
You always seem to pretend
You're not that interested.
It's a game!
I'm willing to play your games.
I'm willing,
Cause I'm not dead yet!
And you're not over it.
It's up to you, dear.
What do you wanna make of it?
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're always running so scared,
But I like you anywhere.
Trust...is under the bed finding dust.
Paralyzed, making a fuss,
While I fumble the words through my lips.
You feel like the morning sun,
Leaking and finding its way
To my heart.
Quickly, I block it all out.
I can't look interested.
It's a game I'm getting tired of playing.
Should they end,
And become self-evident,
May we find happiness.
It's up to you, dear
What do you wanna make of it?
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're always running so scared,
But I like you anywhere.

Into Thee
03:50
|
|||
|
wouldn't you know
they left me alone to be
swallowed whole by hungry monsters
i said a prayer that God'd give me wings to be
caught in the wind
like sparrows on trees
but they don't believe me
but they don't believe me
i always imagine things
i always imagine things
my mind loses everything
as time isn't measuring
my heart is my memory
my heart is my memory
no longer an industry
my heart it flows into thee
grabbing a stone
i started to build my home
ignoring the facts inside it's belly
then he threw me up
into the busy street
just in time to make the party
but they don't believe me
but they don't believe me
i always imagine things
i always imagine things
my mind loses everything
as time isn't measuring
my heart is my memory
my heart is my memory
no longer an industry
my heart it flows into thee

Hell Is Fatherless
03:10
|
|||
|
i walk the street
i know your feet
is this an end
am i complete
the neighborhood with open arms
the ice cream truck with no remorse
an old past-time
an ancient song
a rainy day to play alone
the bell has rung the children walk
the mothers kiss the fathers hug
it's all made in the start
we're all looking for a place to hide our heads
where fire will not burn our beds
a resting place to call us home
where widows and the orphans know
there's a god
and he knows
how to be a good dad
a talking box
under a pot
a colored code to line us up
a matching wall
a two foot pole
no place to put the telephone
the upstairs sound
from all around
a broken lock to keep us out
no standard time
or window sign
designer wear to point me home
it's all made from the start
we're all looking for a place to hide our heads
where fire will not burn our beds
a resting place to call us home
where children will turn into sons
and the boy on the street
needs a basketball net

Oh! Sister
02:35
|
|||
|
oh darling sister
your garden's vast
don't spoil your dress
just to be with him
a little bit of everything
a great deal of none
oh spring-filled lover
why hide your best
don't break your dress
just to be with him
you worked it all by hand
and now he's gone

The Amazed Settler
02:02
|
|||
|
i'm never amazed by you
you're the most important thing, it's true!
fashion is the rhyme you use
so cover up your love with more abuse
but that's so you
never ask to choose
but you want the news
for chat
but i'm always bored after it settles
don't try to settle me down
i'm never suprised by you
movies are the thing you aspire to
i put my pride in check for you
but money turns you on more than the truth
and that's so you
never want to lose
your looking through
a black soul
and i'm always bored after we settle

It's Only In Fashion
05:46
|
|||
|
i see you best
unrelated
with no simile to your name
cause your hair is not like the silkweed
but your hair
well it's your hair
and your mouth
resembles nothing
so wonderfully as much as your own mouth
so why should i say you are just like a tiger lily
when it's just in fashion
and some say
you walk proudly
like a woman just courted
others paint colors for autumn
hoping to catch a glimpse of you
but why should i say you are just like a tiger lily
when it's just in fashion
it's only in fashion
it's just a fashion
it's only a fashion
it's only in fashion
in fashion

The Prophecy
04:13
|
|||
|
and so the prophecy
of what this man should be
the priests they shook their heads
it didn't fit their story no
and then it came to pass
and they were gone at last
and he was by the door
telling us only to believe
sin weighty on
he was your lost directions
without the sword drawn
in fact of descent hope
it was a sign
was he the sign?
and then the jury took
from all that they had booked
and he was guilty by
his hands were at my side
lord, where are you?
i felt your finger tips
they gripped and then they gripped
the blood that freely spilled
this couldn't be fulfilled
without you
sin weighty on
he was the one that they sought
for thousands of years
entering time
divided mankind
was he the sign?
was he the sign?
divided mankind
was he the sign?
was he the sign?

Sex and Sensationalism
03:47
|
|||
|
you watch the TV for hours
satisfied and disensitized
eating lies from the wise
while you die
show me skin and a spin
head turning and thin
queen of our hearts
and the king of sin
masters of disguise
soldiers always die
there is no good war
even if we're poor
i never read that poem
never heard that psalm
that story never told
no one listens to the old
it's all sex and sensationalism
it's all sex and sensationalism
whatever pays the bills
doctor give me the pills
our ratings soar high
when we lay the girls
you always want it quick
stay the course keep me sick
just show a white girl in stress
and maybe i'll forget
it's all sex and sensationalism
it's all sex and sensationalism
it's all sex and sensationalism
but god how we love to buy and sell it

Royal Rule
03:36
|
|||
|
on the lake of wine
stood the rod of fire
and it's not for us to touch
for we might die
your throne is god's throne
under the peaceful waters
the scepter of your royal rule
i love to pass under
if it's mine it's yours
under our righteous father
the scepter of his royal rule
we need to pass under
over rocks of ice
i was given air twice
but i couldn't breathe
for the air was thin
and a permanent sheet
your throne is god's throne
under the peaceful waters
the scepter of your royal rule
i long to pass under
if it's mine it's yours
under our righteous father
the scepter of his royal rule
we need to pass under

the best thing we've done
is have god be our financial partner
no longer living in an apartment
or driving an old car . . . we're on the fast track
you must
become increase minded
set your heart on a wealthy place
this is your time for a breakthrough
just sow your seed and the doc's on his knees
it's a shame we all can't live this way
drop top chevrolet
isn't this heaven today
whatever you've got
i can guarantee
the lord's annointing for ten times your lot
isn't it time
to call this number
just have a little faith
and i'll pocket the rest
oh no what happened to all my fortune
seems that while i was rising so were the poor
now it's true
everything rots
and i saw some kid
living in a cardboard box
he was happier than me
he saw something i couldn't see
he bought something for free
yeah, he was happier than me

Washed Figures
04:39
|
|||
|
money in your life
it takes the place of everything
i'd rather make flowers bloom
and loose tables in time
it's all washed figures
you've got most of your life
maybe it'll give me a job
think i'd rather put ice on my lips
then lose people in time
it's all washed figures
i think id rather put mice in my socks
for washed figures
for your washed figures
making sense of a holy right
wearing coats for the countries might
i think i'd rather be wearing nothing
over washed figures

We're Making It Hard
03:30
|
|||
|
dread life without you because
i am only human
and you have always known that well
search universal beings
because i am without maker
being of only faulted
images of a complete
and innocent form
helpless and burned
by a culture of worms
i lay my head to rest
kiss the feet
comparing myself
while killing my health
we're making it hard
making it hard to
give as you give
we're making it hard to
live as you lived
we're making it hard to
love the lover
oh my god

Daniel Zott was born in a hospital. Noise was hitting his ears since he was impossibly (mathematically speaking) constructed. Eventually, he wanted to make his own noise. He stumbled upon a guitar after a sports injury in junior high. He never played sports again. ... more

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens
supported by 5 fans who also own “Imagination/Wickedness and Tell Me Why My Heart Beats! DISC 2”
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.
