Lyrics Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens

The Upper Peninsula

I live in America with a pair of Payless shoes

The Upper Peninsula and the television news

I've seen my wife at the K-Mart

In strange ideas we live apart

I live in a trailer home with a snowmobile, my car

The window is broken out and the interstate is far

I drove all night to find my child

In strange ideas he's been revived

In strange ideas, in stranger times

I've no idea what's right sometimes

I lost my mind, I lost my life

I lost my job, I lost my wife
