christmas unicorn

Sufjan Stevens

I m a christmas unicorn
In a uniform made of gold
With a billy goat beard
And a sorceror s shield
And mistletoe on my nose

Oh i m a christian holiday
I m a symbol of original sin
I ve a pagan tree and magical wreath
And a bowtie on my chin

Oh i m a pagan heresy
I m a tragic-al catholic shrine
I m a little bit shy with a lazy eye
And a penchant for sublime

Oh i m a mystical apostasy
I m a horse with a fantasy twist
Though i play all night with my magical kite
People say i don t exist

For i make no full apology
For the category i reside
I m a mythical mess with a treasury chest
I m a construct of your mind

Oh i m hysterically american
I ve a credit card on my wrist
And i have no home nor field to roam
I will curse you with my kiss

Oh i m a criminal pathology
With a history of medical care
I m frantic shopper and a brave pill popper
And they say my kind are rare

But i ve seen others in the uniform
Of a unicorn just like me
We are legions wide and we chose no sides
We are masters of mystique

For you re a christmas unicorn
I have seen you on the beat
You may dress in the human uniform, child
But i know you re just like me

I m the christmas unicorn! (find the christmas unicorn!)
You re the christmas unicorn too!
It s all right. i love you

Love: love will tear us apart... again
Love: love will tear us apart... my friend
(i m the christmas unicorn! you re the christmas unicorn!)
