sufjan stevens - barn owl, night killer

i miss wisconsin so bad right now. i am also drunk, and had a bad day. but i miss wisconsin really badly and i wish it were warmer so i could justify getting on a bus and sleeping on a couch this weekend. miss u.

arguably the best part of this song is the last 15 seconds.

Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn and cut my hand somehow
Blood in the meadow lark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laughed and laughed and laughed
How I was wrong, tingling from the kill
You tickle me until
You devil bird, you evil still
I slept on my arms, sleeping on the sill
I was sleeping in the room with you
You little boy, you little boy

You said you’d wait for me
Down by the tannery creek
Far out by the clothesline
Where we used to kiss behind the sheets
Wrapped in a blanket of red
The owl and the tanager sat
The owl and the tanager said
One waits until the hour is death
