Come On! Feel the Illinoise! (Part I: The World’s Columbian Exposition – Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream) Sufjan Stevens

[Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition]

[Verse 1]
Oh, great intentions
I've got the best of interventions
But when the ads come
I think about it now

[Verse 2]
In my infliction
Entrepreneurial conditions
Take us to glory
I think about it now

[Chorus]
Cannot conversations cull united nations?
If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients
Cannot all creation call it celebration?
Or united nation, put it to your head

[Verse 3]
Oh, great white city
I've got the adequate committee
Where have your walls gone?
I think about it now
