Songtexte: Sufjan Stevens. The Age of Adz. Age Of Adz.

Well, I have known you
For just a little while
But I feel I've known you, I feel I've seen you
When the Earth was split in fives

And in your words I should let it out
I would see you die
But I'm a watcher, I see it watch her
It's in your afterlife

This is the age of our eternal living

Oh, keep from trying, oh, keep from caring
You are the life
We see you trying to be something else that
You're not, we think you're nice

The circumstances of what I thought
I could see it now
I wouldn't be so, I wouldn't feel so
But it's running wild

This is the age of our eternal living

When it dies, when it dies
It rots
And when it lives, when it lives
It gives it all its got

This is the age of our eternal living

It rots
It gives it all its got

This is the age of our eternal living

And all reflections, I see your method
I see it all
And what about you? And what about me?
Are we the lost of lost?

Don't speak too soon, don't be fruit of loom
Don't excite yourself
For what you see is not fantasy
It's not what it gets, but gives

This is the age of our eternal living

In all reflections I see it mentioned
I see it all
The gorgeous mess of your face impressed us
Imposed in all its art

This is the age of our eternal living

When it dies, when it dies
It rots
And when it lives, when it lives
It gives you all its got

This is the age of our eternal living

It rots
It gives it all its got

This is the age of our eternal living

When I die, when I die
I'll rot
But when I live, when I live
I'll give you all I've got

When I die, when I die
I'll rot
But when I live, when I live
I'll give you all I've got

Gloria, gloria
It rots
Victoria, Victoria
It lives in all of us

Gloria, gloria
It rots
Victoria, Victoria
It lives in all of us

I've lost the will to find
I've lost my main for life
I've lost the will to find
I've lost my main for life

Now I have known you for just a little while
I feel I must be wearing my welcome, I must be moving on

For my intentions were good intentions
I could've loved you, I could've changed you
I wouldn't be so, I wouldn't feel so
Concerned with selfish thoughts

I'm sorry if I seem self-effacing
Consumed by selfish thoughts
It's only that I still love you deeply
It's all the love I've got
