Jupiter by Sufjan Stevens
Jupiter
Am Em G
My father, working nights
D Bm
First shift, eternal light
D
The curse of Adam labor
Am Em G
Outside, in the parking lot
D Bm
The current of wind and the light went hot
D
He held his head in terror
Am Em G
By jove and by surprise
D Bm
The current of lightning filled with light
D
It burned his hands with symbols
Am Em G
White noise as Lucifer
D Bm
The sacred fire, the sacred fern
D
Conceived with holy water
Am Em G
His radiance in the dark
D Bm
Mysterious shape or beauty mark
D
As if it were Minerva
Am Em G
Breastplate of Jupiter
D Bm
The hovering deep, he spoke the word
D
The light, the virgin creature
Am Em G D Bm
All dreams and all disease are fantasy features, ill-conceived
D
Illusions worth remembering
Am Em G
My father, late at night
D Bm
Forbidding death, he kissed the light
D
As Jupiter transfigured
Am Em G D Bm
I need you to change me, prevent you, persuade me
D
By jove
Am Em G D Bm
I need you, sensation, my virtue, persuasion
D
By jove
Am Em
Father of light

Father of death

Give us your wisdom, give us your breath

Summoner says that Jupiter is the loneliest planet

Red right eye
G
Put in its place
B7 Em
Under your foot, carpenter's cape
D G B7
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet
Am Em
Floundering star
G
Failed that you are
B7
Fevering pitch
Em
Figure of speech
D G B7
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet
Am Em
Say it with faith
G
Say it with force
B7
Say it to my face
Em
Put me in place
D G B7
Sermon of death says Lucifer is the only conquest
Am Em G
Hurricane heart, hurricane haste
B7 Em
Wandering star, clean up your pace
D G B7
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the only contest
Am Em
Father of light
G
Father of death
B7 Em
Give us your wisdom, give us your breath

Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet
