lyrics

FALLING BEHIND IN THE GAME

You've been in my nightmares
what do you know
It wasn't that easy
watching you go

And mostly I'm fighting
invisible things
The enemy general
pulling the enemy strings

I'm just a house
I'm just a cow
swirling around
in this tornado
What's a tornado

And what do you do
when you're not in love
you're not in luck
you're not in style
you're not in time

What do you do

Don't feel ashamed
if you're falling behind in the game
It's just chess
it's just poker
it's just twister

I'm always surrounded
by beautiful things
sometimes I get jealous
and I wanna just cave 'em all in

And I try not to worry
too much of the time
watching these assholes
trying to cut me in line

'cause they're just a dot
right next to a dot
in front of a dot
times ten times infinity
What's an infinity

And what do you do
when you're not in love
you're not in luck
you're not in style
you're not in time

What do you do

Don't feel ashamed
if you're falling behind in the game
It's just chess
it's just poker
it's just twister

My late great youth
watch over me
The late great truth
wash over me

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 6 fans who also own “Falling Behind In The Game”

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
