Decatur Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

Our step mom, we did everything to hate her 

She took us down to the edge of Decatur 

We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her 

Down to the river where they caught a wild alligator 

Sangamon River it overflowed 

It caused a mudslide on the banks of the operator 

Civil war skeletons in their graves, 

They came up clapping in the spirit of the aviator 

The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain 

We go riding on the abolition grain train 

Steven A. Douglas was a great debater 

But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator

Chicken mobile with your rooster tail 

I had my fill and I know how bad it feels 

Stay awake and watch for the data 

No small caterpillar, go congratulate her 

Denominator, go Decatur, go Decatur 

(It's the great I am) 

Abominate her, go Decatur, why did we hate her? 

(It's the great I am) 

Denominator, go Decatur, anticipate her 

(It's the great I am) 

Appreciate her, appreciate her 

Stand up and thank her

(It's the great I am) 

Stand up and thank her 

(It's the great I am)
