Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche Lyrics
I call ye cabin neighbors
I call you once my friends
But I trust when you labor
And put my head to rest
I was on the avalanche
And I had found my match
I was on the floor
I took a train from Virginia
To Illinois, my home
He said "I knew you had it in ya"
A mind to make its own
But I was on the hatch
I tried to take it back
I was on the floor
Come on, Stone!
Come on, Star!
Come on, Snow!
Come on, Car!
Come on, Hands!
Come on, Feet!
Come on, Face!
Come on, Street!
Come on, State!
Come on, Song!
Move it fast! (Take it up)
Move it along! (The Ohio River)
Come on, Life! (Take it up)
Come on, Lord! (Take it over)
Make it right! (To the Mississippi)
Make it Yours!

Sufjan Stevens The Avalanche Comments
niggas be in the avalanche
This song is so, so, so beautiful.
I think I've listened to it 40x today.
oh wow. a Chevy Avalanche.
love it
lol the avalanche truck on the cover
Reminds me of the Appalachian Trail
This is my idol in singing <3
Who didn't like "dis shit"? That's the crap that will make the Russians win! VERY WHAK INDEED.
...what?
Awwww yeah, just what i needed right about now
This song is amazing!
Sufjan is the thinking atheist's Christian. He can make the corniest of lyrics sound profound, and that's pretty hard to do, just ask Paul McCartney. He is outsider art made cuddly with love-handles. I keep on planning to name my next child Sufjan, 'cept they keep turning out to be girls...
Quit making children, Mr Holms. That's an unreasonable reason to keep making them. Adopting a baby-boy after the first attempt went wrong would have been a wiser, and less costly, alternative, don't you think?
Why don't you call your girl Sufjanovia
I guess gnilttbs that you never have children to say something like this!
me too
1:23 - 1:37 gives me chills every time. <3
it's my favourite part <3
How is this an outtake. How is this whole album extra material? It's so good
Yeah, I prefer it to Illinois.
Illinois was a concept album, and I think this has a slightly different tone from Illinois (along with the rest of the album).
The first album from him I ever bought...the cd booklet art was awesome too...
"Come on, Face!"
