Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche

The Perpetual Self, or "What Would Saul Alinsky Do?"

Everything is lost, uh oh!
But I know that you can take it to the Lord
Everything you want, uh oh!
Is it all that you can gather for yourself?
Do you love a lot, uh oh!
It's the love that changes gifts to everyone
Illinois is lost, uh oh!

Is it strange that you perpetuate yourself?
You wonder what it costs, uh oh!
It's the joy, the joy that he will carry to the door
Everything is lost, uh oh!
Still, I know that you can take it to the world

(All that he has given to the world)
(All that he has given to the world)
(All that he has given to the world)
(All that he has given to the world)
(All that he has given to the world)
(All that he has given to the world)
