Three Stars (or, Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois) Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

When the revenant came down
We couldn′t imagine what it was
In the spirit of three stars
The alien thing that took its form


Then, to Lebanon, oh, God
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Ooh, history involved itself
Mysterious shade that took its form, or what it was

Incarnation, three stars
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes
