Come On! Feel The Illinoise!: The World's Columbian Exposition / Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

Sufjan Stevens

    Oh great intentions
    I've got the best of interventions
    But when the ads come
    I think about it now

    In my infliction
    Entrepreneurial conditions
    Take us to glory
    I think about it now

    Cannot conversations cull united nations?
    If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients
    Cannot all creation call it celebration?
    Or united nation. Put it to your head.

    Oh great white city
    I've got the adequate committee
    Where have your walls gone?
    I think about it now

    Chicago, in fashion, the soft drinks, expansion
    Oh Columbia!
    From Paris, incentive, like Cream of Wheat invented,
    The Ferris Wheel!

    Oh great intentions
    Covenant with the imitation
    Have you no conscience?
    I think about it now

    Oh God of Progress
    Have you degraded or forgot us?
    Where have your laws gone?
    I think about it now

    Ancient hieroglyphic or the South Pacific
    Typically terrific, busy and prolific

    Classical devotion, architect promotion
    Lacking in emotion. Think about it now.

    Chicago, the New Age, but what would Frank Lloyd Wright say?
    Oh Columbia!
    Amusement or treasure, these optimistic pleasures
    Like the Ferris Wheel!

    Cannot conversations cull united nations?
    If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients

    Columbia!

    I cried myself to sleep last night
    And the ghost of Carl, he approached my window
    I was hypnotized, I was asked
    To improvise
    On the attitude, the regret
    Of a thousand centuries of death

    Even with the heart of terror and the superstitious wearer
    I am riding all alone
    I am writing all alone

    Even in my best condition, counting all the superstition
    I am riding all alone
    I am running all alone

    And we laughed at the beatitudes of a thousand lines
    We were asked at the attitudes
    They reminded us of death

    Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
    Are you writing from the heart?
    Are you writing from the heart?

    Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level
    Are you writing from the heart?
    Are you writing from the heart?

    And I cried myself to sleep last night
    For the Earth, and materials, they may sound just right to me

    Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
    Are you writing from the heart?
    Are you writing from the heart?

    Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level
    Are you writing from the heart?
    Are you writing from the heart?
