Sufjan Stevens Christmas Unicorn song lyrics

I'm a Christmas Unicorn! In a uniform made of gold

With a billy-goat beard, and a sorcerer'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 a magical wreath and bow-tie on my chin!

Oh I'm a pagan heresy; I'm a tragical 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 or a field to roam; I will curse you with my kiss

Oh I'm a criminal pathology with a history of medical care

I'm a 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 choose 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! You're the Christmas Unicorn too!

Love: love will tear us apart . . . again

Love: love will tear us apart . . . my friend
