Christmas Unicorn Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

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
I′m the Christmas unicorn
You're the Chrictmas unicorn too

I'm the Christmas unicorn (I′m the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn too (it's alright, I love you)
I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn (it's alright, I love you)

I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You're the Christmas unicorn too (it′s alright, I love you)
I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn too (it's alright, I love you)

I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn too (it's alright, I love you)
I'm the Christmas unicorn (I′m the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn too (it's alright, I love you)
I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn (it's alright, I love you)

I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You're the Christmas unicorn too (it′s alright, I love you)
I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn too (it's alright, I love you)


I′m the Christmas unicorn (I'm the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn (it's alright, I love you)
I'm the Christmas unicorn (I′m the Christmas unicorn)
You′re the Christmas unicorn (it's alright, I love you)
