Sufjan Stevens — The Henney Buggy Band

[Verse 1] Oh life, with your shoulders in the mirror From the park when Dakota ran and brought you there In the car when your mother lost her temper The catalog and the catastrophic smile Let the bugles play The sermon on the raid I kissed you on the face I kissed you on the playground [Chorus 1] Oh Father John, you cannot tell me What’s right and wrong You cannot tell me I jump before I get around you Oh Father John Pick it up with the band on the Ronald Reagan Tollway (Don’t give up, let's go forget about yourself) Illinois in it ran from the Ronald Reagan Tollway Forget about yourself and all your plans [Verse 2] Oh life, with your colorful surprises Eleanor, how you put one on disguises [Chorus] Oh Father John, you cannot tell me What’s right and wrong You cannot tell me [Bridge] In the mortal life Far in the morning light We’re back from Bloomington We let the runners win Far in the morning light We let the movies play A weekend from the holiday [Chorus] Pick it up with the band on the Ronald Reagan Tollway (Don’t break down, let’s go: forget about yourself) Illinois in it ran from the Ronald Reagan Tollway (If I’m wrong makes nothing right about yourself) Snowmobile on the field where the gunners throw their weight around Forget about yourself and all your plans
