No Man's Land Lyrics - The Avalanche: Outtakes & Extras From Illinois Album - Sufjan Stevens

Up in the highest of heights 

O'Hara blinks and fights 

This land is yours; this land is mine. 

I see the Captain in red, 

and Cairo at his head. 

This land is yours; this land is mine. 

The lightning over the park, 

the waters--brash and dark 

We take a swim; we take a swim. 

I never meant to escape 

the carpet and the trade 

This land is yours; this land is mine.

And when I make up my mind 

I change it all the time 

I take it back; I take it back. 

The numbers over the dam, 

Jo Davies and the band, 

I count them out; I count them out. 

There was a car in the bay 

by the boat that swept and swayed 

Whoever you are in the light 

in the water that we made 

I'm counting it out 

I'm counting it out 

I'm working it out inside 

I'm counting it out 

to the floor

The ferry hatches Moline 

Panola Beauty Queen 

She takes a bow; she takes a bow. 

In Charles, we climb the hill 

and Danville window sill 

I take it back; I take it back. 

My sister she counts the bars, 

the Macon county cars, 

She takes a bow; she takes a bow. 

The Mississippi amends 

the Carver and the bends 

This land is yours; this land is mine. 

My brother punches my ear. 

The injured ivory deer 

I call my dad; I call my dad. 

We skip inside of the store 

the Mason winter door 

This land is yours; this land is mine. 

There was a car in the bay 

by the boat that swept and swayed 

Whoever you are in the light 

in the water that we made 

I'm holding your hand by the shore 

With our collars pulled up tight 

I'm counting it out 

I'm counting it out 

I'm working it out inside 

I'm counting it out 

(This land is not your land 

For the right hand takes what it can, 

ransacks with the mad man. 

For this land is not yours or mine to have. 

This land was made for the good of itself.)
