All Delighted People (Classic Rock Version) - Sufjan Stevens

Tomorrow you'll see it through

The clouded out disguises put you in the room

And though I wandered out alone

A thousand lights abounded on our home

And I remember every sound it made

The clouded out disguises and the grave

So yeah I know I'm still afraid

Of letting go of choices I have made

All delighted people raise their hands

And I took you by the sleeve

No other reason than to be your leading man

And you woke up with a fright

Our lives depended on the visions through the night

All we had always, all we had always wanted to before

The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor

All delighted people raise their hands

Still the force of nature spurned

Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement

All delighted people raise their hands

I'm not easily confused

The trouble with the storm inside us grew

But I had so much to give

In spite of all the terror and abuse

All delighted people raise their hands

And the people bowed and prayed

And what difference does it make?

It doesn't matter anyway

The world surrounds us with its hate

Hello darkness my old friend

I've come to strangle you in spite of what you'd like

And don't be a rascal, don't be a laughing dog in spite of odds

All I'm deciphering from the spirits in the light within

All delighted people raise their hands

In restless dreams I walked alone

The clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness

All delighted people raise their hands

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And what difference does it make?

I love you so much anyway

And on your breast I gently laid

Your arms surround me in the lake

I am joined with you forever

All delighted people raise their hands

I'm not easily confused

I feel alive I feel it glowing in the room

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands

All delighted people raise their hands
