Old Man of the Lake

Sufjan Stevens

[Verse 1]
We had our bikes
And wearing Spandex
Three of us, my brother and my cousin named Josh
At Crater Lake with California license plates
A Prius and an energy bar
In my fatigue, I turned the key
And drove the car like a frisbee on a methadone high
And just my luck, a Ranger in a pick-up truck
Appeared as the image of God

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't like to start a fight
The Ranger rolled with his hands on his gun
He gave us shit, and made us sit
On the curb with our back to the terminal sun

[Chorus]
What price would I pay
To reverse my fate?
Old man of thе lake
Have a laugh at us now
(Coo-Coo-Coo)

[Verse 2]
My brother said "don't givе him trouble"
As he made a remark at the officer's back
The Ranger reached and swung his gun around
My brother went down like a domino pair

[Pre-Chorus]
And like a dream the Ranger screamed
"Put your hands on your head
Keep them where I can see them"
He cuffed 'em off
And fucked 'em up
With a laugh while we sat
With our hands on the curb

[Chorus]
What wish could I call
From the witches cauldron?
Old man of the lake
Have a laugh at us now
(Coo-Coo-Coo)
(Coo-Coo-Coo)

[Outro]
Old man of the lake
Have a laugh at us now
(Coo-Coo-Coo)
(Coo-Coo-Coo)
Old man of the lake
Have a laugh at us now
(Coo-Coo-Coo)
