Illinoise the Musical - a story about The Man of Metropolis Lyrics


The song is written by Sufjan Stevens.

VOICE:
One, two, three, four
Two, two, three, four

NACNA:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Trouble falls in my home
Troubled man, troubled stone
Turn a mountain of lies
Turn a card for my life
Man of steel, man of heart
Tame our ways, if we start
To devise something more
Something half-ways

ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA:
Only a steel man came to recover
If he had run from gold, carry over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

NACNA:
I took a bus to the lake
Saw the monument face
Yellow tides, golden еyes
Red and white, rеd and wise
Raise the flag, summer home
Parted hair and part unknown
If I knew what I read
I'll send it half-ways

ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA:
Only a real man can be a lover
If he had hands to lend us all over
We celebrate our sense on each other
We have a lot to give one another

NACNA:
I took my bags, Illinois
Dreamt the lake took my boy
Man of steel, man of heart
Turn your ear to my part
There are things you have said
Raise the boat and raise the dead
If you take us away
Still we can say

ARCTIINI, BARSINE & NACNA:
Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each otherz

VOICES:
La-la-la-la-la-la,

ARCTIINI, BARSINE, NACNA:
We have a lot to give one another

VOICES:
La-la-la-la-la-la,
La-la-la-la-la-la

VOICE:
One, two, three, four

ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA:
La-la-la-la-la-la,
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la,
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la,
