Song by Sufjan Stevens<br /><br>

No Man's Land<br>

<br>

Up in the highest of heights<br>

O'Hara blinks and fights<br>

This land is yours; this land is mine.<br>

I see the Captain in red,<br>

And Cairo at his head.<br>

This land is yours; this land is mine.<br>

<br>

The lightning over the park,<br>

The waters--brash and dark<br>

We take a swim; we take a swim.<br>

I never meant to escape<br>

The carpet and the trade<br>

This land is yours; this land is mine.<br>

<br>

And when I make up my mind<br>

I change it all the time<br>

I take it back; I take it back.<br>

The numbers over the dam,<br>

Jo Davies and the band,<br>

I count them out; I count them out.<br>

<br>

There was a car in the bay<br>

By the boat that swept and swayed<br>

Whoever you are in the light<br>

In the water that we made<br>

I'm counting it out<br>

I'm counting it out<br>

I'm working it out inside<br>

I'm counting it out<br>

From the floor<br>

<br>

The ferry hatches Moline<br>

Panola Beauty Queen<br>

She takes a bow; she takes a bow.<br>

In Charles, we climb the hill<br>

And Danville window sill<br>

I take it back; I take it back.<br>

My sister she counts the bars,<br>

The Macon county cars,<br>

She takes a bow; she takes a bow.<br>

<br>

The Mississippi amends<br>

The Carver and the bends<br>

This land is yours; this land is mine.<br>

My brother punches my ear.<br>

The injured ivory deer<br>

I call my dad; I call my dad.<br>

We skip inside of the store<br>

The Mason winter door<br>

This land is yours; this land is mine.<br>

<br>

There was a car in the bay<br>

By the boat that swept and swayed<br>

Whoever you are in the light<br>

In the water that we made<br>

I'm holding your hand by the shore<br>

With our collars pulled up tight<br>

I'm counting it out<br>

I'm counting it out<br>

I'm working it out inside<br>

I'm counting it out<br>

<br>

(This land is not your land<br>

For the right hand takes what it can,<br>

Ransacks with the mad man.<br>

For this land is not yours or mine to have.<br>

This land was made for the good of itself.)<br>
