lyrics

POP THE REINS

Hit stop when I hear you talk
what you see and say got no relation
Turn white, I been up all night
and I still can't find your imagination, sir

There's nothing real you've got to fear
just slip the noose and rock the cage
I'll get away
There's nothing real you've got to fear
just kick your boots and pop the reins

And now I think I know what your mother meant
that everybody works for the government
If we don't find a way to pay the rent
I'll say what they want me to say

C'mon
yeah right, yeah right
Everybody gets a shot tonight
Everybody step into the light
Oh wait, no we made a mistake

Duck dive, gotta stay alive
hit 'em one, two, three
with the combination
Came back with a new attack
and that's all she wrote for your generation, son

There's nothing real you've got to fear
just slip the noose and rock the cage
I'll get away
There's nothing real you've got to fear
just kick your boots and pop the reins

And now I think I know what your mother meant
that everybody works for the government
If we don't find a way to pay the rent
I'll say what they want me to say

C'mon
yeah right, yeah right
Everybody gets a shot tonight
Everybody slide into the light
Oh great, now the baby's awake

It's not the truth, it's not a lie
It's just a lullaby

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 6 fans who also own “Pop The Reins”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
