The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!

- Sufjan Stevens

Thinking outrageously I write in cursive[00:23]

I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor[00:28]

Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers[00:32]

I see my own breath on the face of the door[00:37]

Oh I am not quite sleeping[00:42]

Oh I am fast in bed[00:46]

There on the wall in the bedroom creeping[00:51]

I see a wasp with her wings outstretched[01:34]

North of Savanna we swim in the Palisades[01:38]

I come out wearing my brother's red hat[01:43]

There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times[01:48]

He runs washing his face in his hands[01:53]

Oh how I meant to tease him[01:57]

Oh how I meant no harm[02:02]

Touching his back with my hand I kiss him[02:07]

I see the wasp on the length of my arm[02:30]

Oh great sights upon this state hallelu[02:40]

Wonders bright and rivers lake hallelu[02:49]

Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake hallelu[02:58]

Trusting things beyond mistake hallelu[03:17]

We were in love we were in love[03:22]

Palisades Palisades[03:24]

I can wait I can wait[03:27]

Lamb of God we sound the horn[03:35]

Hallelujah[03:37]

To us your ghost is born[03:44]

Hallelu[03:47]

I can't explain the state that I'm in[03:51]

The state of my heart he was my best friend[03:56]

Into the car from the backseat[04:01]

Oh admiration in falling asleep[04:06]

All of my powers day after day[04:10]

I can tell you we swaggered and swayed[04:15]

Deep in the tower the prairies below[04:20]

I can tell you the telling gets old[04:24]

Terrible sting and terrible storm[04:29]

I can tell you the day we were born[04:34]

My friend is gone he ran away[04:38]

I can tell you I love him each day[04:43]

Though we have sparred wrestled and raged[04:48]

I can tell you I love him each day[04:53]

Terrible sting and terrible storm[04:57]

I can tell you

作为一个听了这么多年歌的选择困难症患者来说，每次有人问“你最喜欢的歌是什么”的时候，我总是哑口无言。因为我认为“歌”的范围太广了，他有不一样的语言，不一样的形式和不一样的内容。在我人生中的不同阶段，我最爱的歌单中的歌总是在变动：有时感到开心，歌单就会多添几首欢快的歌、有时候心情沉郁，也会听听歌单里那些能引起共鸣的伤感的歌。

我觉得人和歌之间其实也是有相互影响的一个过程的，当你开心时，你想去听一首欢快的歌。同样一首欢快的歌也能让你感到开心。我为自己创建了一个“我最喜欢的十首歌”歌单，每次心情或者状态有变化，我就会替换歌单里的某些歌，可舒肤佳老师的这首The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!我从来没舍得替换掉。这首歌让我相信歌曲讲出的故事并不比书籍或者影视差。不管我开心还是难过，听着这首歌，舒肤佳老师总是能把我带入他的少年时期，让我忘记自己的情绪，沉浸在他绘出的世界里。

Sufjan是个吟游诗人，总是揣着各种各样的故事，然后以他自己的方式讲出来。一个抱着班卓琴的男孩，让我在他的歌声中爱上了伊利诺斯州。我爱极了在歌曲中讲故事，我想在这方面，the predatory wasp of the Palisades is out to get us! 应该是除了打雷how to disappear 外我最喜欢的歌了。
