Paroles: Sufjan Stevens. Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lake State. The Upper Peninsula.

I live in America with a pair of pay less shoes
The upper peninsula and the television news
And I've seen my wife at the K-Mart
In strange ideas we live apart

I live in a trailer home with a snow mobile, 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
