The Lord God Bird Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

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, o'er the fisher's fowl 

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 foal 

And paradise might laugh when at last it falls 

And the sewing machine, the industrial god 

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
